Today, my grandpa saw one of the paintings in the guest room at my house. "What the fuck?" he snorted, then said whoever painted it should "stick to their damn day job". I painted it. FML

To be fair, Vincent Van Gogh killed himself because he was discouraged, but now he's one of the greatest, don't worry OP keep up the paintings, you'll be famous one day

He's just a bitter old man. Ignore it I'm sure the pairing was good.

How do you know that? How can you bee sure of something youve never seen. I feel for OP too, but the painting may actually be ugly.

Its more about style and pride tbh. If artist is proud to call it his own then it's a good painting. Case closed.

Unless he likes to eat. Then it's about other people liking your work, or convincing them that ugly garbage is good art.

Well, hopefully if he knew it was your work he'd have been nicer about it. Also, that username.

He should have been nicer about it regardless, it was still OP's choice of artwork in his home.

Honesty is the best policy. I'd rather someone "hurt my feelings" than go forward making mistakes ignorantly

44 I get where you're coming from, and I do agree with your other post that since art is so subjective OP shouldn't be discouraged. My point was more that I hope he isn't always so brutally honest. 52 I do agree that criticism is a good thing, but that abrasive way of going about it does wear thin pretty quickly.

I wouldn't take it personally. Everyone has a different style when it comes to artwork and people have wildly different preferences. Even the greats have been rejected and if you pursue art, no matter how talented you may be, you will too.

Art is always so misunderstood. I wouldn't sweat it, OP! And to answer the question in your username, OP, it's obviously a fruit :)

You just aren't appreciated in your own time.
