Wonderful. I love the lights not only in the buildings but in the sky. That is my favorite type of art, where the viewer can spend a long time getting lost in it.

I really like the sunset one... Oh, and OP, nice paintings too.

There are two sunset paintings in that post. Did you mean the first or the second? The first one I believe is called Twilight in the Wilderness. And I'm pretty sure all of them are paintings, not photos.

Here's a ton more from a website dedicated to him (Frederic Edwin Church: May 4, 1826 - April 7, 1900)

...the more I look at that first painting of yours, the more I like it. You really have a talent.

Back in the ‘80s as a college student I painted several landscapes for some art courses I took. My inspiration has always been the Hudson River School of painters. Although I love the great portrait painters such as Rembrandt and Velasquez, I’ve never attempted a portrait. Whole different ball game IMO. Much harder to do a realistic human face than a landscape, no matter how finely detailed it is.

The frame is so expensive, I ordered from micheal’s spent over $200. :(
In the distant past when I was a couple of years out of college, my art student friend showed me some water colors which she had made in college and which she hoped to sell. I liked her paintings and wanted to encourage her, so I selected one and asked for a price.

She replied with a figure which I don’t remember precisely, but added that the frame would cost more than the picture. I replied that that would not be so, that I would not accept the insult. I paid her double the price of the frame, for the picture framed.

Years after I bought that picture, I visited her mother and couldn’t get over how familiar the paintings on her walls looked. Philistine that I was, it took me half an hour to realize that they were all of a piece because they were all painted by the same girl who had sold me the painting which was part of my own home’s furnishings. Until that instant I had no clue about how one might distinguish paintings of one artist from those of another.

I still have that picture on the wall, it proved to be a keeper. In fact, the painting has outlasted that frame. The wire mount pulled out of the frame and the painting crashed to the floor and had to be remounted. And that was probably 20 years ago . . .

PLEASE translate for us illiterate Americans.

I know next to know Chinese, but I think it says something along the lines of "Gee, I wish I had a talent for something. All I know how to do is complain"

Beautiful painting of Hong Kong. Looks like an actual photograph.

I’ve spent about 20 minutes viewing those two paintings. Seems like the longer I look the more details I find. Fascinating!

Have to move on, so saving this for later looks.

I was waiting in a hospital for my grandmother to get done with surgery for about five hours and the wing had a bunch of Bev’s art work hanging on the walls. It was entertaining.

I only posted half of the first painting. Drop back in and look at the other half when you get a chance.

I see a couple of indians on horses. But there’s probably other stuff that I don’t see yet.
