Answer:
It's always hard to do a crit online, because you can't get a good sense of texture. You have talent. Your first piece is a little boring, but the rest are quite interesting. I particularly like the second piece, the church interior, and as an art historian who specializes in the 17th century, I love the St. Peter's interior with the Baldacchino. You need to get a little more control of your brush. I realize that you're going for a loose, impressionistic, atmospheric effect, but you're a bit too undisciplined. However, since you're only 17, you've got plenty of room to develop. The top art schools? I don't know where you're applying, and much will depend on which artists at those schools are making the decisions and where their own aesthetic tastes lie. However, I think you have a shot at a very good school, so I urge you to try. And good luck.

You have great skill, there is no doubt about that and you should definitely apply for the school. My only criticism would be the subject matter that you choose, impressionism these days can seem so boring so you have to make it exciting. I really like the 3rd one, both conceptually and your technique.

Excellent work. You should definitely provide your entire portfolio to any art school you want to attend. Find out how they want to see your work. Many schools today want digital images on a CD. Some still want old fashioned slides. Make sure you have the originals in a portfolio. Date the back of each of them. They will want to know that your work is current and which was done first in order to determine improvement over time. You are doing some great work for a high school student. Good luck to you with college!

I'm very impressed! I think you have an interesting style that works well with the people and places you depict. I particularly like the last two on your list, of the face and the dark archway. I definitely think you should try to get into a top school. You have a great talent, and I'd hate for you to waste it because of what other people might think. Give it a try. The worst thing they can say is no. Good luck!

Indeed, you have some nice pieces. My favorites pieces are IMG_5375 and DSCN5298. However, keep in mind that it's simply a preference and it's very subjective. If you're submitting a piece, I would go for an original. Since you asked, I'm not so keen on IMG_5392 and IMG_5384, the former because of the color palette. But yes, I think you have a nice chance at acceptance.

They're good paintings, you're very skilled. But they're not something I would paint myself. I'm not into that kind of art. But they are good though. :]
