You are all good, and yes this is my work, but it is heavily inspired by Yuyoi Kusawa's infinity net paintings which really intrigued me when i was first exposed to them. The repeating pattern felt like it was vibrating off the canvas and I wanted to capture that effect in color pallets i found more interesting, the base layer is made up of 5 different colors of blue painted in an impression of a blue sky with a little bit of whispy clouds which allow the blue to peak through, it was a beautiful, but i wanted to draw a sharp contrast to it by going accross the color wheel and mixing a mostly red orange using a cadmium red hue and light cadmium yellow. Then i used that mixture to draw a repeating brush strokes and rotating the canvas to break up the pattern aftet i had a few rows put down. The goal was to create a painting that feels like the colors are vibrating off the canvas and for the viewer's eyes to have no real point of focus allowing their eyes to dart around the painting viewing the sculptural like heaviy brush strokes. In short i was trying to create something i think is beautiful to hang on my wall. I never understood abstract expressionism untill i was heavily exposed to it after multiple museum trips and learning alot about what went into the art.

The military is the only form of upward mobility for large swaths of the population, they are chewed up and spit out by the machine, after being indoctrinated in nationalist propaganda from the time they were able to form memories. Veterans are members of the Prolitariat and should be educated about the system that abused them, not mocked and rediculed for being a victim of it. Yes America has committed mass atrocities, but almost every service member who signed up was completely unaware of that at the time of their enlistment.

Yeah but none of them are anywhere near as ephemeral as a firework display.

This is such a great strategy, also mention how tRump passed the Unconstitutional bump stock ban and doesnt give a damn about the 2nd amendment.

Stumpy (lemmy.ml)

If you haven't heard of stumy, he was a cherry tree from the tidal basin in Washington dc that refused to die. He was a hollow withered husk of a tree, but still refused to stop blooming every spring. Since he is now mulch and didnt get to finished blooming I thought that it was fitting as an artistic decision to leave my painting of him in an unfinished state.
