explanation
I got the inspiration to do this from watching the documentary, My Kid Could Paint That, about the four-year-old abstract painter Marla Olmstead (very good... although I feel the director took the coward's way out). I tend to be very color-conscious, but for this I purposely decided to use the ugliest colors possible, and it turned out a little shocking.
