Bad painters and
the things they paint:

Bad Painters
is an occasional watercolor series which will more than likely
feature painters with little to no painting skill.
The current
unnamed selection, through no fault of my own, depicts the
act of smoking by atypical smokers, such as bluejays, plants,
and babies. I never start out painting with the intention of depicting
smokers but somehow, before the paint dries, the subject has a
cigarette in its mouth.
I think this
is inspired by that ultra-serious "shooting the shit"
thing people do at parties in their youth.

 Bluejay
Bitching to Cat
This
panting concerns a cat who is offended by a bluejay's
remark during a casual conversation. Although I painted
this, I have no idea what the offending comment actually
was.

 Close-up
of Bluejay Bitching to Cat
There
are two perspectives of this painting: above is the actual
painting (which was slightly too large to fit onto my scanner),
and at left is a close-up of the bluejay.

 Morning
Daisy
This
is a
watercolor rendering of a thing I have drawn in the margins
of notebooks and printouts since time began: the smoking
flower.
