These are paintings that make you say “holy crap, that’s a painting???

The second and third ones especially... they remind me of where I grew up. At least at this resolution, they're photo-realistic; they're incredible.

The third is actually my favourite. The light work, the water, the snow being imperfect.

Painting from an actual eye level perspective is helping a lot with this.

The way he captured reflections in various textures is what sold it for me

Wow these are beautiful. Just makes you stop and stare in wonder.

Holy shit, these are fucking amazing!

Doesn't snow around here, except for last year's record breaker, but those paintings are exactly what I see on the trail at sunset.

There are a few spots on the trail behind my hood that look like Mars as the sun goes down. Dusty, sandy, everything turns red. You got maybe 3-minutes to take it in.

Thomas Kinkade just took an ass-beating as "Master of Light".

Do you have a source to link to? I went and looked for other works of his and they are all amazing, but i cant find these specific ones anywhere else.

Feel like I could get snow blindness from staring at this painting for too long.

Are these edited in any way? I found the one with the horse on WikiMedia but it looks way too different.

Unedited. Your link hasn't worked for me. Perhaps they are different images. He painted a lot of similar images.

It works for me but the subjects are too similar to possibly be another painting, unless the artist drew the same "locale" at different times of the day. The picture in the link has a more yellow tint, like early morning.

Often when pictures of artworks are taken the tints can be different. Go to the met website or any museums website that has more than one picture of the same artwork and you'll notice differences.

Photographs can be taken years apart at different galleries by different people and cameras and lights.

Smells like some bullshit is happening. The color tones are super off, the right side cut off and the signature is missing.

That last one is such a beautiful spring day
