I really wanted to like this. Because I’m a fan of mushrooms, specifically Amanita Muscaria mushrooms. Not a big fan of frogs per se, but mushrooms are kinda great.
Anyway, as I started to say: I wanted to like this. But I don’t. Don’t get me wrong: it’s almost okay, for what it is. And it is, without a doubt, better than 30% of the paintings exhibited in this gallery. Maybe even better than 31% But…I don’t really like it that much. It feels “low effort.” The stems are wonky. There’s almost no depth. The frog’s arms and hands seem like an afterthought. Probably this was done by an extreme novice, so I won’t gripe too much. And I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this was a Paint Night painting. If so, it’s one of the sliiiiightly better ones.
Still, it’s just not very good. And it feels plebeian. Paintings of mushrooms and frogs are on the same level as…I dunno…gnomes. And pumpkins.
