Here's some abstract art I did. It's heavily inspired by abstract expressionists, especially Jackson Pollock. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/819255

@northernnarwhal Interesting. What was your mood when you created this piece?

@clayinthecarpet Stressed, mostly. Lots of feelings of pressure from family, friends, school, work, personal addictions, etc.

@northernnarwhal Pressure. Well, I don't get that from the painting itself, but I do feel that when you threw the paint, you did it because you were pressured.

@clayinthecarpet Yeah, the application of the paint was incredibly sporadic as well as forceful so I feel that's personally symbolic for stress.

@northernnarwhal Stress doesn't necessarily make good art. I'm not putting down or belittling your work, but it seems to me that none of those colors relate to one another and the act of throwing the paint was more important than the specific colors themselves and *how* you threw them. I could be wrong, though. 'Just kinda throwing out my own personal observations.

@clayinthecarpet That's fair, I mean it's your interpretation so it would obnoxious of me to say you're "wrong" or anything like that. Those are merely my intentions and the inspiration behind the work. I'm not an experienced painter or anything, though I know of many academic works which define art as not just a byproduct but a process and behaviour as well, so perhaps the mere act of painting is more contextually important than the painting itself in this scenario. I could go on about primary colours and how those relate to denotative instincts but in all honesty the colour choice was because they were just old paints I found in the basement earlier today. The piece itself wasn't planned, the improvisational nature of it was necessary so as it to prevent it from feeling contrived.

@clayinthecarpet I feel it's also worth noting that no human emotion necessarily makes good art, if we're going by a very general and agreeable idea of what "good art" is anyway (since going into detail about that is an entirely separate conversation).

@northernnarwhal It's a physical piece? That's great man.
