Christmas Tree in the Middle of Nowhere (Acrylic on Canvas)

We have yet another not-very-good one on our hands here, and it is almost certainly the result of a recent Paint Night.

Honestly this is just more a picture or a drawing than it is a painting. It’s like if a little kid drew a picture. And I don’t mean that as an insult to the artist (although the artist certainly should be insulted!) : I’m not saying that the artist has the talent of a little kid. I’m saying that, as a relatively-incompetent painter myself, I too have often caught myself painting something without any depth or dimensions or shading or anything that makes a painted image feel organically/emotionally/spiritually alive on the canvas. Like a kid drawing something on construction paper.

That’s what this is like. And the next one too.
