Birds in Tree (Acrylic on Canvas)

Sigh. Okay. So…it’s not awful. But it is bad. In the sense that this, and so many paintings like it, are seemingly representative of what I’ve decided to start calling The Wayfair.com School of Art. Which is to say art that is just…THERE…man. Its purpose is to take up space and to not say much of anything useful and to be totally benign, much like an unsuccessful tumor. Art that is only marginally better than…empty space on a wall. And sometimes, sometimes it’s not even that. In lots of cases, I’d rather have the empty wall.

Damnit. Okay, the branches aren’t bad. The silhouettes look like birds. But…there’s too much black and too much blue (see my previous statements regarding black, blue and purple.) And not enough of anything worth saying or doing.

Try harder next time Kat. Don’t let me down.
