It reminds me of the picture frames that were in my grandmother's house, they loved them and so did my mother, so I think they are spectacular. They match with antique furniture like the ones in that house.
I have also seen the paintings of the first technique, I wouldn't have them in my house but I recognise the different style.
I like the picture of the three women, very classic and the one painted on cardboard is beautiful. I painted on cardboard twice and the texture is very smooth, even more so than on board. I even used enduido to create relief on the cardboard and then painted over the two textures... I remember it was a deer.
What a beautiful sample even if the artist calls himself pathetic... courage, yes!
