5 WAYS TO USE A PAINTING YOU DON'T LIKE

Like composers, scriptwriters or publicists sometimes suffer from the lack of inspiration, painters can also have a bad day. Have you ever found out after hours of painting, that your intended masterpiece is finally not a masterpiece? That you would be happy to destroy it by tearing it into puzzles and let it disappear from the Earth?

Or have you ever bought a painting online which you actually don't like when seeing it in reality? And the author who could give you money back seems to be disappeared from the Earth?

Don't be disappointed and think out of the box!

1. Your cat or dog can have a different opinion

My cat Carmen can sleep whenever she wants, like on comfortable sofa or bed. However, when I put my painting on the ground to take the picture of it, she comes immediately and considers it for the best place to take the nap on. I have heard from other artists, that their furry sweeties do the same. They appreciate author's hard work on the painting.

2. Paintings burn perfectly

With a chemical layer of paint on it, the artwork in fireplace will help you to make the warmth of home😀 You are not average as other people using old newspapers, you can afford to make a fire with original paintings! Warren Buffet would be jealous.

3. Hang it upside down

When flipping your painting vertically, nobody will recognize disproportion and unplanned mistakes. When people will ask you why your painting is hanging topsy-turvy, or find some disproportions anyways, explain this was an artistic intent and style of your art.

4. Give it to your Mom

No matter how terrible singer you are, for your Mom you will always be better than Robbie Williams. When you prepare yucky lunch for her because you are miserable cook, she will say yum yum anyways. If you get A from exam, she will say to her friends how astonishingly clever you are. So when you give her a disgusting painting and say it is from you to her, she will hang it above the sofa, feeling proud you are her da Vinci. (No matter how old you are, it works even if you are 50).

5. Cover it with colorful splashes and sell it for million dollars

Of course you must also add an intellectually challenging story nobody will understand to. Tell that the splashes express your inner contrast between love and war and that all is a futuristic vision for the year 2100. Nobody wants to look dumb so they will certainly tell that they see this genial idea in your abstract painting, too. And if somebody doesn't, explain them your masterpiece is too artsy for them. Then add some history of Bavarian Illuminati and discuss what really means to be an artist, not just an amateur. When your victim is almost going to buy the painting, complete it by mentioning there are subliminal messages inside the painting.

You can also turn it upside down if you don't like it from one view

Wouldn't it be a pity to throw your painting to the bin?
