Welcome to my journey exploring art, In 2010 you also saw me on hikes in wonderful nature. In 2011-13 I did not paint much, but made items using my art. In 2014 I will again try to be a daily art maker.

The answer depends very much on what you mean. I am a very serious person with a job I take very seriously (teacher at juniour high school). Is my art serious? or is my owl serious? Yes, and no. I strive for the abstract, the whimsical, the naive or cartoonish or supersimplefied as my path to expressing. So the expression formally might not be serious in the meaning of it not being "fine art", but there is no less serious thoughts or feelings or experiences behind the expressions than if I had spent a day painting a landscape or an apple in oils.
If you prefer the more realistic style and only posted the question to try to make me feel bad this day just before Christmas, then please just go to dailypainters.com where there are loads of very talented artists in many diferent styles and thems whom I can recommend.
Are you serious?
