when looking at abstract paintings, but no, their kid could not do that.

It's really interesting that you flipped that exchange on its head and created a painting that was intended to look like "my kid" did that, and it's wonderful. The careful staying within the lines! The thing is, to me, no your kid could not do this, either! At first glance, yeah, it looks like a kid painted this (congratulations!) but on *really* looking at it, this is a sophisticated watercolor.

I like this painting a lot, and not just because of the tongue-in-cheek "my kid could do that" aspect. It's interesting and fun to look at, especially that swirly background.

Kudos to you!
