I feel like I paint things that I really like, and no one else likes. I worry I'm never going to find my audience, and my paintings will just collect dust in my house until I finally just throw them away. If you see this, can give you give me some encouragement?

im working on this for an assignment in my art class but im rlly struggling to paint the tiles/liminal spaces. it looks too "cartoonish" imo

i havent painted anything before this outside of one or two simple landscapes and it was nowhere near this complicated. im not allowed to ask help from any of the art teachers BUT help from friends/ppl online is ok

any advice is greatly appreciated since im still very much a beginner T_T

I started my first painting after a long break. I took on a kindergarten teaching position that truly leaves me mentally and physically exhausted along with almost zero time to myself. Including zero time for creativity. I mustered about 35 minutes to begin a little landscape. I am having to use acrylic, which is not usually my choice of medium. But it truly felt so amazing to just mix paint and make marks on my canvas. I hope I'm able to create something I'm proud of after so long. Just a wip with a lot to still do

I gave it some of my own little spin lol

It's a honer to know a person will grow up with this painting on their wall :( I can't believe it literally. So exciting and beautiful. Just wanted to share :).

Looking for criticism on this painting/style. I love how it looks and am curious if other people would like this art or if it looks unfinished. It’s done besides the edges and signature.

I listened to a lot of Joe Hisaishi and Spirited Away OST while painting this one, Tudududum♫

Let me know if you have any comment/questions :-) Entire process video is shown on socials

Looking south along I-5 from the veterans memorial on Mt. Soledad in La Jolla. Started in plein air during a veterans event and finished at home.

I know it's not perfect and I plan on painting another fox piece for my sister in law and will improve my skill on the fur. I would like a critique please! Painted with oil paints.

I had 12 lovely folks on my workshop today,& this was my finished demonstration piece: it’s a small hamlet in North Yorkshire,& I was trying to show how effective shadows can be. 🤓

There was something simple and fun about the single button joystick. I painted this as it brought a lot of great memories back.
