I actually think it's quite good. As I pull back from it, I get more and more depth and shadow. Dang, no name, huh? It does worry me a bit that it's on a canvas board as opposed to canvas (the former is typically amateurs' preferred material), but I got taken to school a few weeks ago by a member here who has in his possession a well-known artist's works on canvas board. Good luck!
Title of newspaper story which preceded the painting: "Flamingo family visits a New York City parade."
That's a dedicated amateur with those zillion dabs ! I think its far better than that , and may be from the 80s. I say that cause flamingos were huge then. I absolutely love it , so florida !
By golly, I may have had a painting by the same artist! It's more likely a coincidence, but you could try deciphering the name. (B Marijasius?)
Hi, I used to know a pointillism painter in Key West. His "points" of paint were all the same size over the whole painting and were more like a micro mosaic. His paint was all I/8 of an inch square. greg
A woman who had a stained glass studio in town dated an artist who did portraits using pointillism. He'd lived in Jamaica for awhile and they were mostly Jamaican street scenes. He was quite good. The heavy, impasto paint reminds me of his work. He signed all his paintings, though, and he would never have used cheap boards. I think this is either an amateur or student work.
