i should preface this by saying i'm not an artist, but i am an asshole. :honk:

i have paints and canvas and goof around using them. my primary motivation for doing this is because i like to have stuff i can look at on my walls, and i'll be goddamned if most of the stuff i can find for affordable home decoration isn't deeply displeasing, aesthetically.

to be more specific, i can't stand that pseudo Piet Mondrian looking genre of abstract color fields with lines and circles that seems to be on every couch pillow cover, rug, wall hanging, and shower curtain anymore. the excessive articulation is too aesthetically busy. it's like a geometry riddle with no answer, taunting me. who can relax surrounded with this?

am i making sense? or is this a :jesse-wtf: type situation?

    ah, yes, the binary world of visual arts. flat solid colors or geometric clown barf.

    visual fields can have subjects, gradients, mosaics/tesselations, textures. there are so many ways to not do the thing.
