very abstract. i like all the different parts and how they all attract attenion without taking away from the work overall. great job:)

i would have added some of the abstractness into the bed, b/c it really stands out from the rest of the picture. that's just me though. i like it, everything around the bed looks crazy... like a bad dream or something

the way out is through

Thank you for being specific in your critique. It is very helpful!

That's exactly why the bed is not abstract and everything else is. When you get in your bed (a non-abstract thing) you enter the dream world (an abstract place) and sometimes experience the types of visuals you see around the bed in this piece. The title "Roses are red..." is followed in the traditional rhyme with "violets are blue". The bed is blue, and I have sometimes recited rhymes in my head to help me fall asleep. Normally I never explain my work because I think it takes away from it, but I wanted to clarify the purpose of the two different styles in the same piece. Thank you for having a look, thank you even more for the compliment, and thank you to everyone else who has taken the time to read this explanation.

wow.... looks like an optical illusion :O good work.... let me tell you what i first saw in this picture: the bed is the tongue of that man whose eye is in the upper left corner of the picture , the pillows are his tooth, and the thing above the pillows is his mustache :) :D

Wow. I never saw it like that before. That's what's great about art, right? We all see it differently!
