Thank you for the criticism! I know exactly what you mean, the two elements dont blend together near as well as I envisioned in my mind, i think the need to keep the flag “readable” really detracts from the messy paint splater effect of both it and the hammer & sickle. I was running out of both paint and medium while making this one so that definitely helps me excuse my poor execution. As much as I love the splater style and abstract expressionism I think I will be going back to landscapes once I can afford more art supplies.
