    He asked for Saturn Devouring His Son except a cat with a fish. Which would be a terrific T-shirt.

    Somehow even a still life of fish is freighted with a dark, profound, brooding unease when painted by Goya lol

    Kids these days, they can't eat a meal without painting a canvas of it.

    Wonderful! I love pictures of food. Particularly, dessert pictures. I’m not sure why. But paintings of desserts are very appealing to me.

    Saw the painting before I read the artist’s name and was only briefly confused why these three salmon steaks filled me with dread

    I swear, even his mostly seemingly inconsequential pieces are still phenomenal
