It’s hilariously awful, the sort of thing you’d only put up on your wall as some sort of ‘I am SO not into Art’ statement.

They're not quite as bad as I thought they'd be, but maybe I haven't looked at all of her collection!
I quite like the fleabitten grey - he's quite charming! but there are certainly some far far better artists out there. Those who advertise on Facebook for example.
They do look like art from a school child and what is missing from my personal perspective is the lack of life in the horse's eyes, to me that is the first thing I look at on a painting of any animal, is that they have painted the eyes right.

She's been doing it thirty years and has big corporate clients, it's not about realism, and it sells, clearly. Not my taste either but there's art for everyone out there!

You do all realise that "art" isn't necessarily a photographic representation of a thing, don't you?
I mentioned Van Gogh earlier. Picasso is another one, people remember the weird work rather than the brilliant draughtsmanship skills he possessed. I've got Victorian oil paintings in the dining room, none of the horses in those look much like real ones. Should I throw them out in case visitors laugh? Tracey Emin's Bed, Dolly the Sheep, neither of those appeal to me but I can appreciate the creativity in them.
To dismiss someone's art and call the people who buy from them idiots is, I think, a tad rude.

Looking at the other sections aside from the horses, there’s an element of her creating the pieces of the energetic nature of the subjects, rather than being technically ‘correct’ in the portrayal.
They’re artworks you have to feel, to ‘get’ them, rather than judge the optics alone. For instance, the mare with the foal is very simplistically painted, but what has been captured is that raw bond between dam and foal. There’s no background, there’s nothing outside the mare and foals existence except them. Theyre very simplistically painted illustrating the simplistic survival existence they have. The overall expression of mare and foal is serenity, being a pair.
It does look like child-like art, i agree, yet kids are the best artists because they also easily draw what they feel. When you stare at these types of works deeply for a minute, you’ll get a sense there’s ‘feeling’ being expressed, and its not about being technically expressed perfectly.
Her dream landscapes collection shows this concept more clearly.
If a white canvas can sell for 15 million, well, all artists have hope!

Art is just something the 'artist' enjoyed creating, is their interpretation of an image/object/idea, and has no practical function. Because it is subjective it is a bonus if others like the 'art' and even better if someone will pay for it. 'Art' is a massive concept that encompasses a limitless range of styles, mediums and tastes.
We all have art we like and don't like, even gifted and successful artists have their detractors. This woman's pictures are not to my taste, but I wouldn't say something isn't 'art' just because I don't like it.
Art has always been a profession where income and success aren't necessarily linked to the time spent on the work, classical ability or it's popularity with the general public.
I love visiting the Summer Exhibition at the RA every year as the range is huge, and it stops me just being inspired by things that I would naturally be drawn to. It's fun seeing all the different things humans create, even if I wouldn't choose to have many of them on my walls.

Much as I'm not a fan of the photo realistic portrait which is very much the trend at the moment, that's going to the other extreme! There's a photo book advertised at the moment and you can also buy individual limited edition prints-they're on a par with the drawings this person is selling!

I know someone that sells the contents of their hoover for £65 and has a few clients who buy it, and false eyelashes she has worn out into town (and many other things).. there's really no limits to what people will buy

Art is like dressage; subjective.
Not to my taste but I do like the colours on some of the birds. Quirky and different, but then I love Picasso, Dali and Matisse.

But you cannot compare ‘no obvious talent’ to Matisse, Dali et al .
I think the world has gone mad to think that these pictures are worthy of being called Art. Call me a snob or ignorant if you wish but there HAS to be *something* that sets an artist apart from everyone else otherwise there’s no point.

Nope not for me at all. If I wanted that I would get my friends 5 year old to paint me a picture.

I quite like the Dream Landscapes, but an absolute NO to any of the horse pictures! So badly done - there is nothing nice about them.

No one likes all art and although I am not keen on the pictures produced by the artist in the OP, I know some people who hate any animal paintings full-stop, so art is clearly subjective.
For anyone interested in theory and reasoning behind modern and conceptual art this is an interesting read:

I buy a lot of art on e-bay, when I did sleep ins I had a lot of time to kill and I could scroll for hours. There is a lot of c!ap out there, but there is alot of good stuff, and if you have a good eye for a horse, usually you can tell if its worth buying.
We have at least two art shops, with big prices locally and you can often buy the same, if not better off e-bay. I buy because I like the subject, the last two looked like my old ponies, or they evoke past times in my life.
