Wow! Those are fantastic! If I were 40 years younger, I'd be trying to do some of that kinda thing myself... I used to do oil painting, strictly realism, but now I find I enjoy some of the "modern" stuff, too, especially the kinds of things you just featured! That was a lot of fun!
If the stuff you share with us is indicative of the breadth and level of your talent and creative vision then there is no reason for you to change the way you do things.
The oil wells were pretty spectacular! I never thought of those as an art form before, although I can be fascinated by a pump jack for hours... It was really pretty!
I know what you mean, there are quite a few of them on the farms around NE Ohio and when we are trail riding I sometimes pause and just watch the pump run while the horse nibbles
Okay. Now I'm jealous! I want so much to ride a horse again before I shed this mortal coil... having grown up on a farm with horses of my own, I have some of the most wonderful memories... so, next time you ride, please think a little thought about me when I was a kid...
Oh, I am so envious! Do have a good time, and may the weather be just right!
When I was 16, I went on a trail ride: a two-week pack trip in the Cascades (Washington State). We took one week going in, and another week coming out, and it was spectacular! We saw other humans only once, and that was when we went through Snoqualmie Pass, riding on the shoulder of the highway and stopping briefly at the tourist lodge. That was at our half-way point. That's when we turned around and started the long ride back.
Great illustrations of widely different subjects, in different styles
Enjoy

I wish I could be as free with my painting as these illustrators are with their art.

Thanks for the feedback - glad you liked the pictures.
My two favorites were the sun shining on the city and the oil wells.

I appreciate your feedback and perspective
Thank you for sharing them!
I almost deleted the two fish, but I figured you would behave like a gentleman
I love these! I can't decide if I like the fish better, or the thistles, or the heart! They are beautiful!
Thank you for finding and sharing these with us!
Looking at the two fish, I don't see anything pornographic about them. They're two fish.
I guess if your mind is bent that way, that's what you could see, but, obviously, I'm out of the loop. I don't "get" it.
LOVE these!! some of these are comical....such talent in each picture!!! Great find RIO!!

Joey, you are new here, but disturbing articles with off topic silly comments will get you a suspension.

Of course you do not - because you have a normal sense of perception and social discourse.
Thanks for stopping by

Both are great - I picked the sin shining on the city and the oil wells.
Thanks for the perspective

I will do it
We will be going trail riding near Titusville. Pa with my brother-in-law two weekends from now
Beautiful scenery, gentle horses, good friends and lots of good food

Those were the days!
