vote for lemon's paintings

Post Reply New Topic

as you can see my obsession the last months was painting (i have been drawing a lot altready for 20 years now, but never succeeded in painting what i really wanted, but now i'm satisfied and can't stop painting)

the paintings don't have names so i described them for the vote

for people who like guessing : what is the order in which they are painted ?
one isn't finished yet.

They're all cool, but I voted Portrait Train heart.

Yeah - my preference is kinda between Squares, White Ones, and Stripes. In Four Red you also have that x-rayish looking thing in the third frame, might be a really sick idea to expand on and maybe do a whole painting in sort of a multi-chromatic x-ray sort of theme? Lol, good luck getting a straight answer on which ones best though - I think you've got a lot of talent and a really good eye for ideas and themes as well.

I like Portrait, Train, Heart. The train looks like the bottom deck of a certian Bus that I like.

Yellow would be nice on my wall.

It was difficult to vote because I liked them all.I love depth,color,texture....very nice.

Difficult to vote for because they're all damn good.

I prefer Squares. But I saw them all and my jaw drops with 1 word that comes out...Wow.

it's so nice to be appreciated ! !!
thank you all ! !!


*lemon wonders if this was a proper way to say thanks and decides to sleep the night over it*

I can see you understand the formalities of art history as well. Last I was at the art museum I saw the Barcelona exhibit and Picasso tended to like that multi-frame approach a lot.

I've never been in Barcelona (but probably will because some familymember has moved to it and i'd love to see Gaudi)

But i've visited the Picasso-museum in Paris, (this was my first art-experience,
very special: i was seventeen and Picasso was only a name we were mocking,
so not expecting anything at all, i entered the musuem, and the first room didn't get my attention.

Zombielike (i was very depressive at the time) i entered the second one and there 'bang' something happened, it was like falling in love, i could hardly breath, standing there alone before a huge painting, it was incredible ! !! Then preceding like haunted, going from one room to another in pure amazement ...

Don't remember any multi-frames though ...?
Maybe you remember some name of it? i'd like to look it up then.

i can send you a printable version if you'd like to.

Yeah, I'd have no hope of actually going there - our museum though gets a lot of really good traveling exhibits though.



Geez, I wish I could remember. There was actually a six panel that reminded me a little bit of some of your stuff (or was it a 3 doubled in color reversal? can't remember). It was literally like a really abstract comic sketch in black and red lines - the name said something about "" in red and black lines or something like that. He had some others too that were though probably a little detailed and filled in, kinda like many of your three and six panels.

I found something to like in all of them, really.

Hey, your picasso experience is a little like mine. I saw a retrospective of Picasso in Cleveland Ohio, of all places, and in one moment, sort of under the pressure of all those styles and variations, suddenly gained respect for his art. I think the moment that clinched it for me might have been the sculptures, like the bull head out of bicycle parts, and the goat. Not sure...

Same thing happened seeing a retrospective of van Gogh on tv. I think it's the whole art of the whole life, somehow... It hits you more that way.

thanks !


i don't know why you say Cleveland of all places because (don't kill me) i hardly know a thing about the united states (apart from a few facts like very few people vote)
i also liked his sculptures a lot (even his little cardboard guitares), but that was after being taken away by the paintings.

have also seen van Gogh in Amsterdam, very beautiful and incredibely skilful. (just a coincidence i haven't seen that much paintings for real either but in europe you've got them relatively close to one another. Seen Dali and Goya in Spain and Guernica in Madrid. Love to visit the Tate Gallery but never have been to London)

awesome.

I liked the "torso volcano", and the futuristic city the most.
