This artwork was made by children in a kindergarten. It hung in the entrance there for quite some time and fascinated me then, and still does today.

At the kindergarten's annual summer festival, it was auctioned off to make place for a new piece, and I was lucky to buy it. The proceeds were intended to raise funds for the art supplies for the new project. As I later learned, the winning bid wasn't quite enough. I added the remaining amount (it wasn't far off) to the final bid. I.still enjoy the artwork today.

It reminds me a little of the works of Gerhard Richter.

Y'know, I ain't mad at it.

I tend to dislike less structured stuff of this type (as opposed to there being a visibly detectable level of possible intent), but this is okay. It works visually, and sometimes that's all that matters
