So which is? Not good or not showing talent? They are not the same thing. Something can show a lot of talent, but not be good per se. It's reasonable to not want to own/display it notwithstanding the age of the artist* but saying it shows no talent? If it was painted by a six year old, I'd be considering extra classes to see if it's a talent they can develop.
*though if I or a loved one had painted it, I'd display it proudly

That's a pretty murky photograph, let's clean it up a bit
Corrected the white balance, adjusted the levels and as a bonus, tried to straighten the horizon.

If one of my daughters had done that at the age of two, i would have said it was good, but it ain't art.

Is the left hand side of the roof on the first hut supposed to be missing?
Like others have said , it’s shite

No i think he was sober when he painted it.

I was once one of the directors of a small gallery. Some of the stuff we were proudly offered and expected to display was truly horrendous and the OP’s offering while a bit naive would be acceptable to many people. Some took great offence at being very politely refused.
I remember years ago a group of us stopped off at Teddington on the boats . I had a wonder down the high street and went into an art shop where the owner convinced me to set myself up with some water based painting equipment . I dropped the stuff onto the boat and headed to the pub to join the rest of my mates .
In the morning i woke with the early birds and set up my new painting hobby . I was so engrossed in what i was doing time just flew by and it was soon opening time at the pub . I got the call from one of my mates and he said lets see what you have been painting all morning . We both stood back to admire my work and both wet ourselves laughing . It was truly rubbish but kept me entertained for hours .
its still in a painting book somewhere so if i find it i'll post it for the fun of it .
I think everyone should have a go at painting as an adult as i bet the last time most people did it was a school .
I'm finding oil on canvass more fun than the waterbased stuff right now .

Your mate was right. It is rubbish. Teddington looks nothing like that !
It does now they have knocked the studios down

I'm pretty sure you can't see Fujisan from Teddington.
(OK, it's not Mt Fuji, but it's not the Matterhorn either so
Edit: and it rarely snows on Richmond Hill, so we can rule that out )
