Can I ask why you decided to do that on your door?

The discussion revolves around a user who, after a hiatus from painting, decides to create a mural on their front door using oil paint, inspired by thoughts of Bora Bora. The door, marked by previous tenants, serves as an unconventional canvas. Participants express a mix of admiration and skepticism about the mural's quality and the decision to paint on a rental property. Suggestions include enhancing the mural by incorporating elements like a painted doorknob or extending the artwork onto the surrounding bricks. While some find the mural tacky, others appreciate its creativity and the personal expression behind it. The conversation also touches on the challenges of using oil paint, such as drying time, and humorous anecdotes about the user's past mishaps. Overall, the thread captures a blend of artistic exploration, humor, and the complexities of creating art in a rented space.

I happen to think it's fantastic. I especially like the detail of the open door painted on the door. They should double your damage deposit when they return it to you so you don't remove the door and take it with you when you go.

If you like art you should watch the movie 'pollock' staring ed harris. Interesting insight into his life.

I love art, but let's get one thing straight. THIS IS NOT ART.

Why did you make it then? Reading your OP, you clearly wanted to express yourself by making this. I'd say it clearly has meaning to the artist. You didnt just make it because you were bored.
Funny how you state 'they'll have to repaint it once I leave' and your door is 'open' to a new better beginning, subconsciously your picture represents a happier place than your current location, and the new door leads to it.

No, of course not. He made it because he was bored AND had painting supplies out to sell. This is tribdog, the same one who tried to defrost soda with a MAPP torch and burned the carpet in the process. Though, tribdog, now you're going to need to buy more paints. I think you definitely need more white back on the water. The first version was better.

Yes, click "Undo" and go back to the first version!
Although, you know it could just be because you're looking out the door at a different angle. Or the tides have changed causing the waves to come in differently.
