natural sounding way to say "I love your paintings"
I'm writing to an artist and I was wondering if saying:
絵画が大好き
is a natural sounding way to say
"I love your paintings"

how common is しばらく
I was watching ドラマ Dr. JIN and heard someone say ”しばらくだな”
I was curious if it was an older way of saying ”おひさしぶり” because the main character was sent back in time in the episode.
Is ”しばらく” commonly used today in Japan?

"Which places would you like to go *to*"
"What place would you like to go *to*"
"Which place would you like to go *to* first"
In these sentences, "to" can only be used with "go" and not with "visit"
"For what purpose you're visiting here?" is an incorrect sentence.
The correct way to say this is
"For what purpose *are you* visiting here?"
But this still sounds unnatural. A more natural way to say this is
"Why are you visiting here?"
Hope this helps!

These are both fine to use but the first sounds more natural.
For the second one you could say it casually:
"You're a lot taller than I thought you were gonna be".
