"Tony's Paintings on Larissa's Website?"

There is a link to Tony's website on Larissa's website, as well as a link to Mike Spitaletto's website.

There are also several paintings, sketches and prints displayed. Some appear to be by Larissa. But for others, the artist is not clearly identified. A couple of them appear to be portraits of Larissa, and they *very* much resemble the style that Tony used in the portrait of Larissa that we saw on the show. Although we are told that we can receive a free autographed picture of Larissa with the portrait, the actual artist is not identified.

It also says that the artwork is available March 12, which would be just a little after the finale of Average Joe 2.

Draw whatever conclusions you want to from all of this. It's very interesting, to say the least.

Elsewhere on the site it shows one of those paintings, and says Larissa is the artist. So I think we can assume she did all the others.



These reality show contestants need a reality check!

To the contrary, the style and brushstrokes are very different on some of the paintings. They are as different as the handwriting of two very different people. I think we can assume that they are *not* all her paintings.

For some reason I didnt see Tony's painting when I was on Larissa's site. Am I missing something? Then again I'm also not very good navigating on the internet.

As far as I can tell, we don't see the painting that Tony did on the show. We do see a couple of paintings of a girl. Both of them look very much like Larissa. These are the two "limited edition prints" that are featured most prominently on the site.

There are also many other paintings, drawings and sketches on the site. They do not all appear to be by the same artist, given the style and brushstrokes.

Often the artist is not identified. My theory is that the artist will be identified after the finale of Average Joe 2. The site says the paintings will be available for shipping around March 12. That's about a week after the finale of Average Joe 2.

FWIW, I think those are all her paintings.

Side note - Tony's work is friggin' awesome. That guy is really talented.

Could be .... but again it is not clearly identified.

By the way, where did you see paintings by Tony? Are you referring to what is on his website? His painting of Larissa on the show? Somewhere else?

What? No links to Theo's artwork?

Well, she'd have quite a pair on her if she's selling Tony's painting after booting him off! Can anyone confirm this?

It may very well be that none of the paintings on Larissa's web site are Tony's, but she does have a link to Tony's web site there.

http://www.larissameek.com/store/links.php

There's also a link to Mike Spitaletto's site.

Obviously, if she can have a link to Mike Spitaletto's site -- whom she kicked off the show much earlier -- she can certainly have a link to Tony's site.

Nice to see that these people are still friends, if nothing else.

I was certainly shocked that Tony got the boot this evening, but that's the way it goes.

Yeah...they are on his website. You have to navigate through...can't directly link. If you click through the first page and then hang your mouse down at the bottom of the picture on the next page there are links to sketches, watercolors, photoshop, tattoos, etc. His paintings are really good. Some very intricate, detailed stuff. He's got talent.

Thanks. I'll check them out.

I could tell that he has talent just from the painting he did of Larissa. A modern style, perhaps, but talented nonetheless.

I'm not thrilled with his sketches, but his paitings and watercolors are great! I love the collages...

Agreed. Not very taken with his sketches... but they are just sketches after all. The watercolors are what caught my eye. Some of his tattoo work is pretty awesome too.

Did anyone else notice that on Tony's website, there's a picture of a hunk guy, shirtless, with a shirt draped over his shoulders on the wall by the stairs? It looks odd to me...or is it a personal preference of Tony's? I would have thought if anything he'd have had Larissa's picture or another picture that he has done...

Well my guess is, if anything, Tony might not be too crazy about Larissa any more. lol
