Funny, I didn't set out to make a face, and it wasn't until the end that I realised I had done so. This sort of unconscious thing doesn't happen with me very often because I'm too intent on being a control freak and HAVING to know what I am painting, so this was edifying for me.
Edifying. But somewhat disturbing :) I think I would like to take that brush looking object and clear some of the shit out of that headspace, methinks.
(Aside: did anyone laugh at that cat in the pinata pic below? Or is it just me who finds that sort of thing hilarious? :)
now that you mention the cat it's kinda funny
ReplyDeletesue, do you know what you just did here?
ReplyDeleteyou had me on the floor rolling with laughter
are you sure you didn't call this painting
"the cat's eye view"
you even connected the pinata image verbally in this post
did you mean to do that?
or is it just my brain that made the connection?
LOL! No, it is your brain that made that connection, definitely! (I actually painted that before I saw that pinata pic).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the return laugh, haha!!!
ah, so it was the order in which you posted that sent my brain into a spin
ReplyDeletewhen i revisit this image - after disassociating it with the cat's head up the pinata's bum [roflol] - it reminds me of a map
perhaps a tribal map laying out the secret pathways, camping ground, rivers, billabongs
perhaps telling the story of an outback adventure where treasure might be found
You don't hear the term "the cat's head up the pinata's bum" every day, do you? :)
ReplyDeleteYour ponderings about maps and such things sounds just like what Maggie said yesterday. Funny, that :)
now, you just know you're going to get swamped with googlers looking for "cat's head up a pinata's bum" - yes I believe there are people out there who would google that!?!
ReplyDeletethe world is full of very weird people googling very weird things
re maggie, it's nice to know i'm tracking well :-)
sorry if me linking this art with the prior post's photo de-sacredised your art work,
but it was so funny I just had to share the unexpected connection, and i figured you'd get the joke
besides, there might have been something to that connection - freudian slips and all
I like the picture - alot going on in one's mind ....
ReplyDeletecool, so much going on! I also see it as a map of sorts and also a scan indicating you may have worms ;) love the pic...and your trademark dot/dash marks around the outside are nice too :)
ReplyDeleteoh and the pic of the cat is funny, but the words annoy me...too cutesy.
Kel - of course it didn't desacredise my art work :) It was all highly amusing :)
ReplyDeleteMark - too much going on in one's mind :)
CB - Worms, lol. Yeah, I know the caption was cutesy. It was the best one of all of them. I just love that pic so much, it really cracks me up hehe :)
