So my partner Gerri Hudson has been trying her hand at doing some painting and has in my opinion created some truly impressive and beautiful pieces.

Of course she says oh they are just folksy stuff not that great, so please give your opinions.

Looks pretty cool to me. That second one is far better than a lot of expensive pieces I have seen on Antiques Roadshow.

I've mostly only been to art shows against my will, but from what I've seen I can tell you she'd stand out at most of them. Great work.

The second one she calls "fluid" art, I dunno but ti think they're (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) good!

I love that eyeball

Seen that type of paintings at the County Fairs..

The guy huffs aerosol paints all day...spins them in a box..

And comes out with some wicked stuff

Looks good,tell her to keep at it

The colors are wonderful to behold

It gives me that 70's vibe all over again

I bet they would sell if she offered them

There is obvious talent in these pieces.
There is nothing wrong with "folksy"...decoys are folksy as are scrimshaw and classic pottery and ceramics.
I'm sure Audubon's watercolor paintings were considered folksy by some of his contemporaries.

I don't think she's giving herself enough credit. She has a lot of patience and attention to detail from what I'm seeing.

Far out man, pretty groovy.

Reminds me of the hippy art of the early 70s.

The circle painting is awesome! It’s kind of like a flat earth model.

I'm sure the first one, the eye, would bring good money if marketed to a eye doctor's office/clinic. They both look great!

When she first sent me the eye, I thought it was a photo of a real eye!

I missed the "s" in the thread title, and being close to pride month and all was a little apprehensive to even look. Especially after Savell or I mean ColdspringKidd put in the eating large mouth thread, "Iowa was gayer then Canada". Was expecting a photo of a dude in coveralls named Art. Was "very" pleasantly surprised to see true works of art. They look great. So are they on canvas? Or are they more along the lines of a stained glass window? Self taught or taking some kind of class?

How much rain you get in the last couple days? G.

On Canvas, she sis self taught

4,5 inches of rain Thu into Friday
No idea how much last night id say more then 5
