<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 1548638, member: 1476"]Ya know to be fair... factory paintings are designed to please. And they do please a lot of people. They're not awful, awful. They're just not art. They're a product like... like... say, toothpaste. One giveaway on yours is the haste in which it was painted. Look at the fir trees and see how quickly they were created with a series of horizontal strokes (by someone, it appears, who never say a fir in real life.) And nothing about the work makes one feel that it was a scene observed. It's lifeless. </p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
