I like them all...they are very bold.. I like the perspective...you have an interesting style...the shapes you use, the colours, the arrangement...your paintings grab my attention, in a good way. Makes me wonder what you are thinking about when you paint these. They make me curious.

i like the perspective, it gives a feeling that everything is going to slide off the painting.

Something wrong with this. I just don't like it. Hair? Eyes?

I doubt I'm getting any better, but this is becoming very therapeutic for me, which is something I dearly needed. Back to the zombies...

Thank you Paul! My friends seem to like these and #2 just sold to my tattoo artist for $50. That's more than I can make in one night with 7 years of bass experience. So yeah, I'm interested.

Here's #3 (Self) (The oranges aren't as bright in real life. Also, I think the perspective is wrong, but I'll work on that.)

I think that these are powerful paintings. The blue painting is one that I believe is a real grabber.

I hope painting continues to "hold your interest"— as you put it.

"Interesting," and, "psychological," are just about the best compliments I could hear right now. Thank you very much.

Actually there is something very interesting about them. Very psychological.

Hello everyone, my name is Roger and my hobby for many years has been as a bassist. Unfortunately, carpal tunnel has acted up again and I find it very difficult to play. As a result, I've decided to pick up a hobby with which I have absolutely no experience or talent. Mostly as an experiment to see if I can become a mediocre artist in time. Richard Feynman is my hero and, later in life, he started to paint and actually became fairly accomplished.

I don't mind posting my paintings here. It's not embarrassing for me since I have no experience. As long as this holds interest for me, I will continue to post new paintings. Thanks to everyone who replies.
