These are a small sample of paintings that are true works of art. Paintings like this are humbling. They make me work harder to become a better painter.

The first three paintings are by Norman Rockwell. He is a master of capturing peoples expressions.

If you look closely, there is a cat on the boyscout's shoulder.

If you are a Chicago Cubs fan, (I am, because that is where I spent a two thirds of my life) you can relate to the next painting.

The next two paintings are by Salvador Dali. It would have been great to meet Dali.

I would have asked him "Hey dude! What were you thinkin'?

The next two paintings are by Claude Monet, the master of the brush stroke.

I saved my favorite artist for last. Pierre August Renoir has a distinct impressionistic style that is pleasing to the eye.

One of the great things about living in Chicago is The Art Institute of Chicago. I have seen these painters exhibitions there at different times. It is an amazing place.

Spam comment. He sent the exact same comment to a bunch of people. I'm flagging it.

Sorry to hear this.

I just flagged a couple. Hopefully he'll see the light and stop.

Sorry friends...I just want to support, no other intentions..

It looks like he is new here.

Yeah. I don't flag much, and there's plenty of spam, but I figure I should do it every once in a while, and so should everyone else on here. The newbies who just don't know don't take much convincing. The hardcore spammers who have no intention of contributing might need someone with more Steem Power to be convinced.

I'm against flagging. I have seen some very inappropriate flagging. I think flagging should be delegated to a committee of responsible members. I believe education is a better way to improve the overall quality of Steemit. If that doesn't work, then flag away.

I have to admit. I do a lot of curration and I have a tendecy to get lazy myself. But, I am trying to improve.

what a beautiful paintings.. love it .. thanks for sharing...

I'm sure the artist's would thank you. Thank you for visiting and commenting.

sir I love arts and crafts.... thanks for your beautiful reply..

We are always with you and good work. keep sharing. keep it up sir!
