    It may be for a charity or something, but this painting "starting at 215 CAD" at my local Superstore is like elementary school level.

    Where do I even start? They couldn't get something better than this? Maybe it's just the style but it looks like they hastily painted one layer of paint per color and a dried and you could see the canvas through it and they figured fuck it. The horses are totally out of scale with the people. Both the people and the horses are basically glorified stick people. The roof of the house has snow on it but it just looks like they forgot to finish filling in the paint. There's no detail at all anywhere. The overall perspective is terrible. No attempts at shading or shadows anywhere the eyes can see. For some reason the snowy hill tops I guess are just bald on top and have green smears. I just stood there and gawked at it for a moment before deciding to take a picture to show my partner, and I don't know when I decided to post here to share with you guys. What do you think?

    Crochet potholders for $50...

    They're not even double sided and probably not cotton lol. They're not keeping your hands from being burnt.
