Just thought you could get lost in some weird strokes of color.

titled:stormy love(i think that's what i called it but not sure since i gave this to a friend)
acrylic on canvas 18x24in
And a horse of a different color(not literally,metaphorically)


titled:paradise(i'm not very good at labeling or giving titles)
acrylic on canvas 12x18in
i'm kind of sad this one is so small but it is my favorite.

I couldn't stop staring and rotating these damn paintings, I think I was high from the paint.

These are obviously abstract and it's possible that I ate different paints and vomitted on some canvas, regardless I'm curious as to what you see in these paintings.

I see a boob with a really big nipple. Or maybe it's that titty bore worm thing?

EDIT: We're number one google result for "titty bore worm?" Score.

I like the composition of the second painting. It draws the viewer in. Size and medium?

*** 'Abstraction' and 'seeing things' don't mix. Pollock called it the Mickey Mouse Effect. The story goes- someone once saw what looked like Mickey Mouses head in one of Pollock's paintings. Pollock trashed the painting.

If I had these on my wall I would just stare at them for hours.

I like both of them equally, but for entirely different reasons.

and i understand what you're saying here but i know that i didn't paint any recognizable form. i'm not gonna be a snob about it and trash my painting cuz some idiot thinks they saw something that is clearly not there. that happens with other paintings that aren't abstract. people try to see something that isn't there all the time in art. so since it doesn't bother me, continue commenting on what you see.

i will post more and i'll be sure to include all the info on the painting

someone should have told Pollack they saw something in all of his paintings so we would have trashed them all.

The more color you use, the more I like it. Again, my favorite is number two.

thank you hattie and jakezz.

and just for the record none of my art work is done under the influence of any drug. i don't know why that bothers me or why i feel i should let people know. i'm not against drugs but when it comes to my artwork i feel that my inspiration comes from something deeper than just some acid trip. i know that's not what you were saying hattie but i just wanted to make that clear for myself.

Haha, I was thinking about how these would be totally mesmerizing whilst under the influence of acid.

'HELL' is my favourite so far. Great work, Audrey!
