Thanks Anne, glad you liked them!

Well I think that I need to print these artwork on canvas, and then we can think of exhibition. I will consult my uncle, he is a great artist in Israel , to see where to go with these art.

Best Wishes,

Saul
Good luck Saul.

It's not that good art needs a long time to create, but you might be hard pressed to find a gallery in NYC (that's where you are right?) that would exhibit what they will automatically call "computer illustrations". They will, in the end, try to sell those pieces and it may not go very well with potential customers when they learn that it took 30 minutes to create them.

That being said, there is this street art vendor in Soho who sells those specially filtered huge photos of different sceneries. The photos themselcves are not very special, shots of the sea, a mountain ant the like. But he color filters them so they look shiny and almost monochromatic. They look very beautiful, but very simple too.  I'd be inclined to buy them if I had a wall big enough. Some of them have a price tag of thousands of dollars and he has been in his spot (West Broadway bet Spring &Prince) for years now.
So you never know  :)

Thanks for the advice, Orbital.

Painting with this software drastically reduces the time. Everything is so much easier and quicker. You don't need to set up a canvas nor, take the time for mixing colors and changing brushes and erasing mistakes. So, had I painted these paintings using conventail methods, I would have needed at least 3 or 4 hours for each painting instead the 45 minutes to an hour that it takes now. The are many examples of fine art that doesn't take too long to create.

So, Saul, what are you trying to say with your art?
A legible handwriting is sign of a lack of inspiration.

Three or four hours (not to mention 45 minutes) for a painting still seems slapped-together to me. Maybe you should just spend a few days on one painting instead of cranking out several inferior "paintings".


What time has to do with this?

When an artist feels that he expressed his ideas through art and it reached a certain level , then he can present it. You have no idea how this program makes things much quicker. I dont think that Just because the artist spend more time on his painting, it would be "better" then other art.

It isn't simply a matter of taking longer to complete a work, but rather the amount of effort put into a work implied by the time it takes to make it. God, that's a fundamental aspect of art. I shouldn't have to spell it out for you. Throwing something together in a few minutes and foisting it off as "serious art" and styling yourself as a "serious artist" is laughable. Why do I bother? Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall.

Corey, I got feedback from my Uncle who happens to be a great Artist in Israel, a very accomplished one. He said that my art is serious. In fact he was the one that told me about this software.

You judge art by the amount of "time". Thats your opinion, but Artists disagree with your assertion. You have the right to say what you want, I dont mind it, but remember that your opinion is not fact.

Bob Ross, beautiful paintings in half an hour.


Then maybe you need to pick up the pace.

Is it just me, or does this one look suspiciously like two breasts poking through a black PVC catsuit?

Thanks Larry for not saying a word about the paintings and only have to offer silly comments.

Very nice of you.
