Rate my great-grandfather's painting of 1970s Cincinnati, Ohio.

Tell your great-grandfather to read the damn sticky.

I don't see anything wrong posting this; it's within the rules.

i think he means your grand papi sucks at painting

>>2752866
Poor management of visual busyness and value. Composition is fine, tourism pamphlet stuff, but otherwise very amateur.

I wouldn't know, I was 2 when he died 25 years ago; I believed he only painted as a hobby.

I wasn't even born 25 years ago, I can't see how that is a factor in seeing how that painting is amateur level

>>2752934
almost as if where painted by a amateur

tell your great-grandfather to read the sticky

you can do better

>>2752935
are you implying that's not amateur shit?

>>2752939
i believe the other anon was implying that it should have not been amateurism even though it was painted by an amateur

>>2752940
Guess I should have added that since he was doing it as a hobby, he probably didn't bother improving his paintings, so he remained on an amateur level.

So, what famous artists paint on wood like this?

Icons are painted on wood, aswell medieval and early renaissance altarpieces.

>>2752866
so go tell your family on facebook about it. why should we care about your grandpa's shitty attempts at hobby art?

>>2753377
Because it's gotten over 700 likes on Facebook; people are wanting copies of this.

>>2753406

I'm not saying because it's getting popular on Facebook you guys should care about it, I'm just seeing what you guys thought of it just to see why people are liking it.

>>2753415
lol, that doesn't prove shit faggot.

doesn't matter either way.
>>2753428
facebook is full of people who couldn't name three artists if someone stuck a gun to their head. you know who else they'd love? leonid afremov. why are they liking it? because they like everything friends post, because they know you and your family, because they have shit taste- who knows!

it's not a good painting. sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth.

>>2753432
I actually don't care for the painting other than the sentimental value.

But I appreciate everybody's input.

>>2752866
it's got a nice mood

dude my grand dad could beat up ur grand dad..

>>2753628
OPs granddad has some naive charm to it at least even though it's shitty, whereas your granddad is just a shit photocopier.

>>2753631
True that, his ref-less stuff is pretty bad.
Still its nice to have his stuff around. I just finally found a reason to post it on ic.

>>2752866
It's quaint in a good way. Nice composition and colors. Very pleasing but nothing special.

>>2753631

whats wrong with you
