They were quite common as commercial decoration in restaurants and such. Very interesting and very well done. Congratulations! This style still exists today in commercial hall ways, Drs' offices, Dentists' offices, resturaunts, etc. The wall hangers are not only photographs, but watercolor, and oil paintings as well.

StewartR wrote: Can I be critical? It looks to me like the horizons are crooked. Maybe it's just the cloud formations that make the horizons seem crooked when they are in fact straight, but I can't help thinking that both pictures might look a bit better if rotated slightly clockwise. Also, I think I'd go for a vertical crop to end up with an image in portrait orientation. All the interest is in the different layers of colour which are stacked vertically, and I think a vertical orientation would help emphasise that. You haven't got 'EDITING OK' in your profile, so I won't have a go myself. But the kind of crop I think I'd do to #1 would be to remove something like the left-hand 15-20%, the right-hand 35-40%, and the bottom 20-25%. Thanks Scott,midnightjam,scott,stacie,bob and stewart for the comments and suggestions. Here are cropped versions based on stewarts suggestions, Thanks for pointing out the horizon, before I had them printed, I think that this type of crop also works.
