I wouldn't restrict this thread to just paintings. There are many major museums with the general title of "Museum of fine arts" ; such as the MFA in Boston, or the Philadelphia Museum of Fine Arts.

I'm a serious collector of general antiques; including paintings; but I also collect furniture, ceramics, metals etc. All can be "works of art"

I've been on a buying spree lately; since there are so many deals out there
to be had for cheap money. Here are a few 19th century paintings in my hallway; and a view of my living room, which is primarily 17th/18th century decorative "art".

hey there say, wow, lars... say, you have been busy too!
i need to go over and see your web site,

i love to look at abstracts, but i just can't do them, as, i keep trying
to fix them up, and TURN THEM into something... like, turn 'this' into 'that' and a 'that into this'...
(which is what the viewer is to do, and we are to leave undone, for THEM) ...
like tami said, i am a bit folksy, ... like the mama doing stuff for the house hold, and making sure it is familiar to them... :))

thank you tami! :)
edit: wow, here's a hug, too... :)
>:D<


and thank you paul, i like the stories in art, to imagine if you are there...

say, lars:
this one you did, reminds me of ice bergs... or, ice rock... though the red, in the corner, would have to be iron ore, :)

very nice, lars... i am going to go see your web site now...


PS:

say, it would be very very nice if we could get pat ament, to share some artwork, here...
he has been sticking such wonderful work up, on facebook...

he is doing a lot of very great sketches--portraits, etc..

you all would love it... oh you would love it!
wish we could see some... i will ask if he might share some...


:)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maud_Lewis


Maud married Everett Lewis, a taciturn fish peddler, on January 16, 1938 at the age of 34. They were poor and lived in a small thirteen foot six inches by twelve foot six inches house. Soon after they were married Maud Lewis accompanied her husband on his daily rounds peddling fish, bringing along Christmas cards that she had drawn. She would sell the cards for twenty five cents each. After some success with this, she started painting on various other surfaces such as pulp boards (beaverboards), cookie sheets, and Masonite. Maud was a compulsive artist and painted on more or less every available surface in their tiny home. It was Everett who encouraged Maud to paint and he bought her her first set of oils. Lewis lived most of her life in poverty with her husband in Marshalltown, Nova Scotia


In the last year of her life, Maud Lewis stayed in one corner of her house, painting as often as she could while traveling back and forth to the hospital.



wow! it said she painted on everything in the house, :)

wow WOW!

Maud Lewis (1903-1970)was born Maud Dowley in South Ohio, Nova Scotia with multiple birth defects, affecting both arms and hands the result of childhood polio. Maud's disability was accepted by her family and until the death of her parents she had a place to call home.

After the loss of her parents Maud found herself with no home and no one to turn to. Maud responded to a newspaper advertisement for housekeeper. Maud did not have proper use of her hands and had great difficulty walking but this did not stop her from trying to get work.

Everett Lewis was a bachelor who lived in Marshalltown, Digby County, Nova Scotia, he was looking for a housekeeper. When he met Maud, he was impressed by the distance she walked to apply for the job. Everett decided that the best way to solve the problem was to marry Maud.

Everett and Maud married in 1938 and lived their whole married life in a small twelve foot by thirteen foot one room house with a sleeping loft, without benefit of electricity or plumbing.

Maud was not very good with the cooking or gardening and it was soon decided that Everett would continue to do these tasks.

From a chair by the window, in that small house, Maud started making hand-drawn Christmas cards. Everett Lewis who sold fish door to door for a meager living, was an enterprising sort of fellow and he started taking the hand drawn Christmas Cards to show his customers. Encouraged by the positive response Everett urged Maud to try her hand at painting. Using old discarded paint brought home by Everett. Maud once started, could not be stopped, hundreds of bright paintings of the things familiar to her appeared on pieces of wood, cardboard, bottoms of pie plates and any other surface available .

Maud also painted every available surface inside and outside of her house. A crooked sign outside the tiny home said "Paintings for sale". Folks started coming to the door and the paintings sold, most for as little as fifty cents or one or two dollars.

Neebee, you really have a gift at portraiting animals.

This guy below was my painting instructor at Fresno State. Nowadays I still see him on the soccer field. He is a super realistic painter mostly.
More of his work here.
