This is part five of the seven piece collection, based on a group of doodles done in 2013. The style is doodleism, which fuses doodles with surrealism and cubism, which makes for a lot of isms. When I paint there is no real strategy or purpose, which is a little unusual for an artist's mentality. Perusing the internet for contemporary art one sees a lot of paintings depicting people and the human condition, or traditional themes like florals, landscapes, and animals. Where did I go off the rails with my art? I started with florals, then immersed myself in landscapes for a decade, and then in 2000 switched mostly to abstract. The feedback on the doodleism style has been so-so to date, the most viewed work so far was Potato Beach! View counts can be tracked on this blog, and the counts are way higher when I link the blog to reddit. Imgur is also a strong tool, I just checked today and almost every imgur image I link on reddit gets over 1500 views. That is pretty cool because it's like having your paining at a busy gallery!
