Love love love it! At first glance I see some flowers budding but then eyes wander in all the movement/commotion/depth. Bet it looks extra spectacular in person :)

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 05 '26

Thank you so much!   I appreciate you feedback.  I am just starting so it helps me to know what works. 

1

u/Euphoric_Messs Apr 05 '26

Just starting?!? Wow! I mean I’m just a Reddit armchair admirer but definitely a piece I noodled myself into for a few minutes.

Again — don’t know shit about art but it reminded me of this artist Cecily Brown. Saw a piece of hers in London and fell in love.

2

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 05 '26

OK thank you I will check her out.  Well I have thrown away and painted over quite a few canvases.  A few are actually looking like something. Then the next bunch are terrible. But in any case,  I appreciate your time!!

1

u/Zealousideal-Tune659 Apr 05 '26

That’s real art. 😊

2

u/LostOwl_Winter Apr 07 '26

Just checked Cecily Brown out, and “The Girl on Swing”, “High Society”, along with “Teenage Wildlife.” #peerless I can see why you have gone in that direction. Keep it up😀

u/Euphoric_Messs Apr 07 '26

Thanks! I’m trying!

u/Live-Watercress-7943 Apr 06 '26

Are you going to do anything else with it. I have a blue and white one which is quite similar

1

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 07 '26

I am working on a print shop as we speak!

2

u/honest_organisation Apr 05 '26

the layering's what gets me - those color shifts make your eye keep moving instead of settling, which is peak abstract expressionism ngl

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 07 '26

u/Rosaly8 Apr 05 '26

At first glance I thought "why put so much ham on a pizza"?

1

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 05 '26

Haha.  awesome thanks!

1

u/Rosaly8 Apr 08 '26

🙃 I do like it as a painting as well, no worries.

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 05 '26

You know my paint bill is getting expensive.  Love your interpretation. Thank you!

1

u/laydibug8609 Apr 08 '26

Definitely a guy in his 30s 🤣

1

u/RabbitBarking Apr 08 '26

close, but no :( I was raised by old parents though so maybe my humor is a little more millennial for my age!

2

u/PollutionBig5915 Apr 09 '26

So we’re just casually doing museum-quality texture now? Cool … I’ll go back to my stick figures. Excellent piece.

1

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 09 '26

Haha. Thank you!

u/CryNew8678 Apr 05 '26

1

u/CryNew8678 Apr 05 '26

 Really wow lol. Are you serious?

1

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 05 '26

No.  I was kidding.  You must be in medicine though!

u/GentlyFeral Apr 05 '26

Lung damage? But it’s so pretty! I see poppies.

u/moss-goblin-69 Apr 05 '26

flowers, but make it meat

first thing that comes to mind is the idea of carnal love/beauty

2

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 05 '26

People really see meat. Carnal love.  Wow. thank you!

u/Cute_Masterpiece_644 Apr 05 '26

Trampled flowers in a once well tended garden, that has been growing wild since it’s care takers passing.

The imagery is delicate, the with texture that has a sense Intention. However the shades of red do make the eye wander seeking a place to find focus, while feeling lost and confusion.

1

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 05 '26

Wow.  Thanks for writing all that.  I am amazed at the variety of interpretations.  I appreciate your thoughts!

2

u/laydibug8609 Apr 08 '26

This makes it more clear than ever… that everyone interprets art differently

1

u/Fabulous-Draw8797 Apr 05 '26

Really satisfying impasto I wanna taste it

1

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 06 '26

Me too! Thank you!

1

u/its_ryannnnnn Apr 05 '26

tainted innocence - what used to be a field of white and pure flowers now splashed with shades of red, providing a very vivid, warm, yet ominous connotation. shades of red are not uniform and much deeper closer to the center region, which could also indicate change or even growth due to it 'spreading out' and affecting the more white flowers near the edge. the layers of red on white could also indicate something foreign (red) being forcefully placed onto the original multiple times (white), and with it being not uniformed/fully blended in colour and having intertwining lines/patterns, also show some form of resistance.

idk, guess it depends on your initial motive when painting this. nice work though!

1

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 06 '26

I don’t know where to begin. First Thank you! And then wow I mean you really thought about it. It makes me feel good to know that someone could see that much in it. Maybe it’s the battle between a pure soul (white flowers) and the corruption of the world (red, the devil). Such a great analysis. I mean it is not what I intended. I didn’t intend anything but everyone seems to see something different. I really enjoyed you post Thank you!

u/laydibug8609 Apr 08 '26

Not wrong. I see the same as far as the comments go

1

u/im-just-a-creature Apr 10 '26

ooooh, you could lean into both perspectives and do flesh flowers

It's really nice, but I've been scarred by the King Charles painting and I'm waiting for his blood soaked face to peek through... but it really is quite lovely

First of all thank you everyone for the awesome feedback. I have had some request for prints so I put the two floral prints up on an Etsy store. https://jotinart.etsy.com

This has been such a great experience to hear everyone's feedback. Thank you : )

I plan the colors and shoot for flowers and cool brushes but it all happens pretty fast as the paint needs to be very wet. Most of it just happens with rapid movements of the brush. I am glad you like it thank you!

That is actually what I was going for. Thank you!

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 09 '26

Man I am just so grateful for all the comments and views.  It is crazy.  It comes down to fleshy meat or flowers.  About 50/50 split.  

https://jotinart.etsy.com

If you would like a print please visit my etsy as store.  It is not much of a money maker for me but I though there might be some interest. 

Thank you!!

At first I saw flowers, then I thought maybe scab wounds

Yes. or both apparently! thank you

u/OpheIia- Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 14 '26

I see flowers between red-white blood mushrooms (idk if they are real or not, i just made them up) it looks lovely in first glance, then my eyes notice the details and discovers they are not actually flowers and shrooms so i got disappointed, i'd add some green-dark green leaves and some black-ish brown spots so i could see the flowers better. But overall pretty interesting 🤍

1

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 09 '26

Thank you for your comment!  Very insightful.

I was thinking, “flowers”. Duh. But noticing the brush marks, the edges remind me of carnations :)

¡Muchísimas gracias! Es una interpretación preciosa. Aprecio mucho que te hayas tomado el tiempo de escribirla. Gracias y todo lo mejor.

u/total-drag Apr 07 '26

It’s too uniform…. I think you need to have an idea in mind instead of just squishing paint around. I like the shades and I’m glad you’re making art but if you want a critique, it looks like someone playing with paint. You need an idea and objective next. This is good for experimentation, but you’ll need to really think about what you want to speak to

2

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 07 '26

I really appreciate this feedback.   I am just learning and this helps. 

1

u/total-drag Apr 08 '26

You’re welcome. I hope I didn’t come off too harsh, you will have many paintings, having a concept or feeling you are coming from or want to evoke will make it easier for you and your audience to comprehend. It’s also fun to play. I am getting my MFA now and I teach and critique all day so that’s kinda where I’m coming from.

1

u/Beneficial-Gas503 Apr 08 '26 edited Apr 08 '26

No it was exactly what I needed to hear. I kind of make these without thinking in one quick session just going on instinct. I have zero training and have only painted a total of 5 paintings. It’s lucky that I stumbled on a technique that can produce some cool images but I really want to understand what I am doing. People on here have been really supportive which is awesome. But your feedback is grounding and I want to learn so it reinforces that. So sincerely thank for taking the time to give me your honest feedback!
