<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 9814739, member: 37&quot;]Per the rules of the game....&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><i>I am going to post pairs of paintings that are different from each other for opinions. I would like to know:</i></p><p><i>1st.) Do you like it?</i></p><p><i>2nd.) Why?</i></p><p><i>3rd.) Provide some kind of critical analysis and any other comments you might have.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>There are no right or wrong answers here. It is more about exploring why someone likes particular artworks as well as why they may dislike them. None of the works will be by very famous artists, though some may be by listed artists.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>I will not provide any information about the artists up front. Once some comments have been given, I may come in and provide some information about the works and/or my opinions. Once the comments seem to be exhausted, I will post another pair.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>For now, let&#039;s restrict this to some works I have and let this evolve over time. If someone wants an opinion on their own works and can&#039;t wait, go ahead and open another thread. If this gets tedious, we can end it at any time but I am hoping it has some worth to people interested in art here.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>I don&#039;t pretend to think that these are great works of art but do see merit of some kind in most of them. Needless to say, there is some reason why I bought these works if only to make a buck or two. However, I am more interested in what you all have to say. Don&#039;t hold back on your comments. You will not hurt my feelings if you do not like something. Have some fun with this. It is OK to go off topic.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>For clarity, I will post pictures in separate posts and label each as posted. This will follow the pattern of first pair - paintings A &amp; B, second pair - paintings A &amp; B, etc. When making reference to paintings please use this terminology when necessary (particularly if commenting about something further back in the thread). I will try to provide some spacing between pairs but see how this could get confusing if there is not some sort of reference to fall back on.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
