That everything is art ? Or that everything can be art?

Every opinion is valid when it comes to art!

Personally I just think the creative process is a part of it so I don't see randomness being art.

That doesn't mean it's not beautiful! Beauty can be found everywhere and definitely is in the eye of the observer... IMO!

Wow that second painting really is something 💖.

Inspiring!

And maybe I can figure out how to move forward better, thanks!

Hey thanks again!

So nineteen twenties or twenty twenties :-D There are so many fantastic old paintings, it's hard to know who was the master behind each of them, even just among the impressionists, like Adam Smith that I stumbled onto once.

Yeah the green is bushes, mostly. I used two photos to try to get it right, yep I'm very new to oil painting!

I'm on a new painting, but maybe I'll go back and make another try (it's the fourth already) when I feel I 'get' those trees a bit better. Trees are hard sometimes!

It's mostly a try to just exercise, but I do like the setup/composition so I probably feel it worthwhile to make it better. Or so I hope.

Thanks again for all kind criticism and hugs all along!

We sure do not have the same definition of art!

Art does not, in my opinion, need an observer to be art.

If you think the sky is beautiful then that does not make it art, or everything would be art so nothing would be art.

I guess he's confounding with "art contemporain" or post moderism.

I just understood your comment about the person sitting in front of the opening. So true, oups!

Maybe the colours needs to be a bit more distant with less red and toned down a bit. Guess I'll have to try it again!

Ha ha I know that book in the link with the man sitting!

Great advice to unlock preconcieved or just natural ideas we have about how big things are.

Wow thank you so much! I love the impressionist style so much, especially Renoir Monet and Manet.

Gotta check out Tomir I don't know that artist.

All criticisms warmly appreciated and well taken! I know there are lots of errors in the painting, like the values of the sun spots, the green versus the sand, the details missing in the bushes/trees...

I also made the person just slightly too big, and messed up the distinct natural border between the path and the beach (those green leaves to the right) so there is a line but it gets blurred away...

Thanks again it really warms my heart 💖

Thank you ! Yes I guess it is a very very "boring"/stable composition 😋

Hey thank you ! I'll try painting the next upside down 😁

Okay fair enough, but it's not only the US that seems yo think he's not the elected president. Are there some more serious organisations who thinks one way or the other? I mean it's so low hanging fruit bashing the USA :-p
