The thing about art is that it requires an audience and will elicit thought in the viewers that the artist may, or may not have intended. Maybe you’ve never been to art school, but it’s as much about critiquing and analysis as it is about practice. A critique is not a criticism. If you’re not listening to and contemplating your viewers experience and opinion you’re just jerking off with a paint brush. Which is fine, just don’t do it in public.
