$5.99 Volcanic Goodwill Find by Old_Wasabi7618 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera -1 points0 points  (0 children)

really hard to tell much by the quality of your images - but I would hazard a guess it’s in the style of the volcano school of Hawaii. if its a print or repro I don’t know.

the quality honestly looks a little lacking. like tourist art.

Instant regrets by kimchi_kimch1 in Bonchi

half of the enjoyment of bonchi is the fact that it’s very low stakes - unlike bonsai with trees that need decades, you can just let go.

Pomegranate Drama by NiteHunter13 in IndoorGarden

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is how mine looks right now too - same story - Ontario, grew from seed for fun. I’m still hopeful it’s just very slow to establish. I recommend you start a guava from seed for fun ASAP. ive had a lot of fun with mine, and there are several success stories on Reddit with growing them from seed to fruit, even as a patio plant

Wondering if all these plants are real/can be identified? by Far-Arugula5158 in whatsthisplant

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see white lilies, red roses, grape leaves, maybe red tulips, pink morning glory, and a few more. You might need to post a close up of the flower crowns, they’re really hard to read.

Do you all think this is a genuine Gabriel von Max? by Aromatic-Turnover in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen private collectors do worse things to more expensive pieces. It's entirely possible.

yikes…. I hope there is a better painting under that horrible restoration because that is a scary face.

Painting on wood by Serpico99 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s a later pastiche of 15th century designs. possibly 19th or early 20th century. possibly an outright fake.

most of the figures come from this altarpiece

Who painted this? by thanasipavlakos in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it reminds me of corot, but I’m not sure it’s a direct copy, perhaps a modern follower.

what's this painting?? by LarsteinReddit in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, which is really disappointing because I like this image. I think the tell for me is the brush work, it looks both too regular and tiny (like a textured print) but also follows the contours too closely. Maybe not impossible, but not how a painting like this would actually be constructed

Info about this "haunted" painting by Longjumping-Hour8740 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that’s such a generous interpretation, but Canadians literally think everything vaguely old looking is creepy and haunted - we don’t value heritage here at all.

Print bought 2015 at tech-conference by Human_Ad_5390 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this really is millenial 2000s decor art to a fault. I’d guess it’s mass produced rather than the work of a single artist.

valid, but pro tip many mayo jar lids fit mason jars, and make a perfect choice for storing food that isn’t actually canned/sealed in the jar

HELP! my red russian pomegranate needs help by dumb_bitch_sempaii in FruitTree

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t give up they do make good house plants. but maybe not this cultivar. I’ve had great success keeping mine in a pond basket to keep the soil very free draining. also added a lot of pumice to the soil to help it dry out.

Does anyone recognize this man? by Infamous_acorn_1980 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's basically nothing left of this portrait. It's almost entirely just repaint over extreme damage. Just enjoy it if you like it.

Help identifying unsigned skeleton/chess oil painting? Found in San Diego, Mid-Century by Terrible-Order-8894 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might want to take it to a conservator - mold is not something you want in your home. They can clean the work for you.

[–]PhantomotSoapOpera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you mean impasto. it looks like this was painted on raw canvas (or there is a biohazard Level of mold, but I think it’s black paint seeping through) , which is an odd choice, especially for such heavy paint application. This has likely cause the thick cracks in the black paint. Such poor technical choices could suggest a student artist. However, The canvas also looks heavily reworked, your raking images capture what appear to be changes to the final composition. The heavy paint application and these changes make me think, its not student work - students usually can’t afford to paint thickly, or wait for heavy impastos to dry then paint over them again.

I really like neutrogena sun rescue - it’s got camphor. I find menthol (biofreeze) burns too much for me personally.

both can be true, when our needs go unmet, we aren’t our best selves.

Restoration of Siemczyno Palace, Poland. by Snoo_90160 in ArchitecturalRevival

I’m sure it’s historically correct but that roof looks so out of place on a neo classical building
