12x12 oil on panel, black floater frame
I had a hard time deciding on a title for this one. When I first saw the photo, it reminded me of Mary Poppins, though I don’t know why, exactly. So was thinking of calling it:
“You Know What Else Helps The Medicine Go Down? A Martini”.
But I wasn't sure if I was the only one who saw “Mary Poppins” in this image, and I didn't want people to think I was weird, talking about medicine and martinis. Or weirder than they already think I am. So I settled on “Watching Karma Take Care of People Who Did Me Wrong” … and it still makes me chuckle. (This is how I entertain myself).
Other alternate titles:
Watching Her Give A Shit Fairy, Fly Away.
Watching Someone Who Was Fucking Around, Find Out.
Me Pretending To Laugh When I Didn't Hear A Word You Said.
When They Didn't Listen To You So You Sit Back And Watch What You Predicted Would Happen, Happen.
I know, I know … my painting titles keep getting longer and longer. A testament to my lack of copy-editing skills. I’ve given up on brevity and have entered my “Ain’t nobody got time for this” era.
Which also leads me to my New Year’s Resolution: “Screw It.”
Feel free to borrow it yourself. It’s mercifully concise as well as being incredibly versatile. You’re very welcome.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and Happy New Year!
