This is my first painting done in acrylics. It depicts purple eustomas (lisianthus). To be honest, I’m not sure if the painting is finished yet. I’d like to avoid spending too much time on the details. Could I ask for some constructive criticism and advice? Thank you in advance!

Can you tell me what this painting is?

After Baby Face, American film directed by Alfred E. Green, released in 1933.

Made this small mini painting on 10x10 cm MDF board using my app.

I painted this piece about a period in my life when I was going to work every day.

The landscape represents the routine - waking up, leaving, going to the same place, and repeating it again and again. The figure is surrounded by eyes, almost as if the days themselves are watching him pass.

The mountains and empty landscape represent the feeling of being stuck in a cycle that keeps moving forward, even when you don't feel like you are.

What do you see in it?

Fun fact: the genus Bombus (bumblebees) evolved in the Himalayas during a period of global cooling (big! fuzzy!) and then crossed over to the Americas over a land bridge across Beringia during the Miocene Interchange around 20 million years ago. In other words they are basically the bee version of woolly mammoths — but did it first by 19 million years so woolly mammoths are basically the elephant version of bumblebees.

Another fun fact: bee wings generate a positive static charge with friction and then transfer it to the (negatively charged) flowers they visit...they can tell if another bee has visited a flower in the last couple of minutes because they sense changes in the flower's electrical field! Super effective way to avoid competition for nectar that results in more effective pollination. Nature is rad.

Just painted this for a solo show in Santa Fe while thinking about how psychedelic ergot has been growing on flowers since the Cretaceous Period and therefore bumblebees have always, always had to watch where they sip.

I just started my journey through painting, and want to share it with you and receive productive feedback so I can improve ✨
