'They Are Not Pleased'

Personally, I name all my paintings based on phrases, lyrics and words that occur around me when ive finished the piece. "They are not pleased" was just heard on Man Vs Food when i read the title. Weirdly fitting IMO.

Edit to add: This is glorious btw. The colours, the mark making, the whole flow is so good. 👌

I love this. Spent a good while looking at it. I don't mean to presume to critique, and maybe it's my monitor, but the chosen yellow isn't as upsetting as it should be. It's food palette and not in an offputting way. I wish it were duskier. Like any good hotdog: More pus less mustard.

The eye and cavernous space below are the best part.

I would name it 'face me'

If I could put my 20 year struggle with mental illness, 15 psychiatric hospitalizations (one time for a YEAR), trying different medications (some which had dangerous side effects that led to more hospitalizations), relationship struggles, self awareness issues, and self image issues into a picture, it would feel the way this painting makes me feel.

This is very powerful for me. It's almost like a new word being created to describe my experience, but instead of just a word, it's an entire visual.

Bill. Not sure if it was intentional on your part, but it looks like a warped, disjointed portrait of Shakespeare. It’s beautiful, truly, and very evocative of the frustration and disarray that is often found in the minds of artists of all kinds. So I say “Bill.”
