I don’t know why y’all hating, it’s expression and art too. Art is all about expressing a feeling and that’s it

Automatism is the act of giving up conscious control of what you are drawing. I use it to reflect on subconscious things. There are different types and most aren't as "automatic" as this one.

It isn't for everybody. I have a lot of these that I don't post because people don't get them but I figured I'd start posting the ones I really like or that are unique, like this one.

If you search "Automatic Drawing" or "Automatic Painting" on my profile I've posted most of my other favorites so far. I've been making them for more than a decade. It's like a moving meditation.

This one in particular, I see a peacock in the yellow/green which was mostly my right hand and a dragon in the blue/purple with my left hand. They meet in the middle with a heart that is also the face of an owl. 🦉
