Wait what did u try sanding I’m curious

That red gash in the painting is an actual splinter of wood that came off of the panel and I couldn’t sand it smooth

Oh haha that’s awesome.

Thanks

I hate to ask because interpretation of art and all that but I'm curious if the intention was that of what it appears to be on the surface level. Outrage at the quality. Or if the irony of a piece of art being made regardless of the quality of the medium was intentional.

I'd imagine a piece of art could be made in contrast to this very Bob Ross esque where the splinter is say the trunk of a tree.
