Im really into digital art with Microsoft paint which is my specialty, but I must say I really like this piece and the unique style of it. It really makes me appreciate hand painted pieces more. Im really diggin this one

I get it, I like it, and frankly I think if I saw it for sale I'd buy it.

Nice one.

Besides not being the most attractive people, it brings forth the idea of the gift of sex, that everyone, no matter how they look, get.
I love the lack of detail that works to give it more detail, and the "jubilant lovers" remind of something from Mad Magazine, and that has fantastic art work.
Loving it

It's a shame that a lot of people apparently can't appreciate the hard work and beauty that this painting exhibits. As for the contents of the painting itself, there is an aesthetic simplicity to the rounded edges and colorful background. There's certainly a lot of detail in the background as well, which appears abstract and representative of a 'jubilant' mood. The strange ribbons that entangle the two lovers appear almost as snakes, which - at first - made me associate them with the snake from the tale of original sin. The lovers themselves, are rather fat and strange-looking, but I think that those qualities - in and of themselves - contain an aesthetic beauty once portrayed on canvas. The painting appears to pick at the human condition of rampant vanity and denounce it as a sin within itself; I'm not sure if that's what you intended by "Here is a painting I made today. Have a nice day.", but I think that it holds a lot of contextual meaning, and that's why I really like this piece. Even though the figures are somewhat cherubic in nature (not necessarily the most beautiful things you'd see in your life, but certainly interesting), I feel as though figures drawn in more realism (e.g. with copious wrinkles and shadows, etc.) would have also produced a similar aesthetic effect.

I'm really glad that you chose to paint this; it represents a lot of things that are subjectively beautiful and - once put on canvas - relatively profound (the latter at least to those with closed minds).
