The title is definitely indicative of me; when it comes to art I have no idea what I am talking about. I either like it or I don't, I admit I do not like some of the "great work of art. The image that kept drawing me back to it was the second painting. It seems to be mysterious, abandoned, yet once occupied. It holds a story of events that once took place there, parties thrown, heated arguments, maybe even nights of passion. This painting made me ask questions and let my imagination wander as to what was once in this room. The artist allowed me to make my own story instead of guessing what story was being told. I would rather let my mind run wild with possibilities than to struggle to find the meaning behind what the artist is portraying.
I did not like painting 3, I have never been a fan of abstract art. Painting four was demonic and a little disturbing to me; I am not sure if it's a torture chamber or circus performer’s reunion. What is with the alien sculpture thrown in the mix? I think painting five seemed like a canvas photograph and not so much of a painting. Although the detail of the figures is simply stunning, it's not a bad thing that it could be mistaken for a photograph in my opinion. I have no idea why I did not like the sixth painting; I just did not like it. I felt like the colors did not flow in the last painting, as if their dresses and the balloons were originally a different color and someone painted over them to brighten up the painting. A little strange for my taste if you ask me and it’s my blog so in a sense I was asked. J After writing the last part I was looking at the paintings again and realized that the first and last painting are almost identical except the add colors and props, so it seems a little ironic to me that I had those thoughts about the colors being changed.
