Personally, I think it’s meant to be a deceptively simple painting. At first blush, it doesn’t look like much, but then you notice the streaks and then the drops and it pulls you in.
I’m sorry if you misunderstood me, friend, but if you’ll kindly point out where in my comments above did this “taking it personally” occur, I believe I might better understand.
FYI, “To each their own” is not a derogatory phrase, and if that’s where your irritation lies… the irony in that alone is tragic.

I think it’s really clever.
To each their own. You may feel pulled in, but the fact that the artist offers nothing more at that point is the crux of my critique.
Absolutely. That’s part of what makes art so wonderful.
Ah, I think you misunderstand my meaning, though in that I don’t disagree. Please refer to my previous comment, however.
Yeah, art is wonderful, because someone might not be impressed by a painting and someone else might like it, and it doesn’t really matter.
Ah, so algebraically you’re saying: “art is wonderful…” because “it doesn’t really matter.” Interesting take. Like I said: to each their own.
Yes, the nice thing is there’s no need to take it personally when someone doesn’t agree with you when it comes to art.

I don’t feel irritated, I feel joyful and friendly and actually kind of euphoric, to be honest :)
