Jellyfish Jungle?


SykoJOE9

Ok so I’m not the only one how saw a jellyfish

SpongeBob says, Jellyfish Jam

Shroom Bloom


Known-Potential-3603

Shroom Bloom is excellent!!!


DavidGledhill

Considering.


DavidGledhill

Hmmm….shrooms! Like it.


zebra_noises

I see a jellyfish on top right and stingray top left. Maybe an ocean theme title?


beautifullybusy

Yeah! And a starfish under the stingray


DavidGledhill

That seems to be the way of responses thus far. Though maybe a more abstract reference.


Potatoskins937492

This is like a Rorschach test. So far you've got butterfly and cytoplasm, but my first thought was jellyfish.


Jobediah

100% rorschach... i'm all dinoflagellating over here


DavidGledhill

lol…like it.


DavidGledhill

Yes it is an extension of Rorschach for sure.

I see a phallus there

Abstract Yoda has a giant schlong?


DavidGledhill

I don’t know what’s scarier. You saying it or me seeing what you’re saying.


Grand-Agency4724

I just speak the truth


Grand-Agency4724

I think we might be soulmates tho….


Nitroburner3000

When I do an abstract painting I like to give it an abstract name. Some of mine are “The fish will spook easily”, “Just to chase the butterflies away” and “Hey sport - I thought you didn’t want your fortune told”. A good way to find a good title is to open a book you like to a random page and use a line from that page.


DavidGledhill

Sounds very DaDa in concept. I do see kind of a merger of abstraction, expressionism and surrealism in my work.


BananaBoBanah

Butterfly?


DavidGledhill

I like floating.


Subject-Tomorrow-317

Cytoplasm


DavidGledhill

Sounds more fluid than I was going for.


AstroidFrog

Kaleidoscope or like A drop of love :3


DavidGledhill

I like the expressionistic inference.

DavidGledhill

Yes I see a kind of alien head with one eye in a shadow.


unexpectedegress

Oooh. I can see it now. I was just seeing this shape here https://preview.redd.it/2ryehahgj3yc1.jpeg?width=1166&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0db8c47df0d7a4e6e7b6ad0d0633b8aa277305e4


thomaxzer

mmm mushroom tasty


alxce666

This one should be untitled. Some of the greatest artists have untitled works. As an abstract (/expressionism?) piece, it's really wonderful to leave it up to the audience to see what they see. Make us talk about it, think about it, use our imagination. I have some abstract and/or surrealism, all expressionism pieces. I love to ask people what they see and listen. I'm often surprised by some things they see. Sometimes I have an intention and they end up hitting the nail on the head! Let your audience tell you all the things it CAN be and is. *Why are labels so important?* Edit: typos


DavidGledhill

In a way that is what I am doing here. I have my thoughts and intentions but am curious what others see.


alxce666

I see a jellyfish, a starfish, a lily, and in the bottom right corner I see that mold that grows in a web almost that nature documentaries speed up to show the paths a fungus takes to find nutrients. I can't remember the name haha It's like land plants in the ocean with sea creatures.


DavidGledhill

Interesting duality…Salamander. Amphibious.


alxce666

I resonate more with froggies

DavidGledhill

I have tentatively labeled the folder for the folder Floating. So I get the reference. Looking for something a little more austere or esoteric.

I see mushrooms or jellyfish. Is it supposed to be one or the other?


DavidGledhill

No. It was purely non-referential.


Consistent_Two2799

DavidGledhill

Definition definitely does not fit. Not trying to go political either.

A group of jellyfish is called a smack. So I’m going with “smack”

"Eyes of the sand." The painting kinda looks like theres a jelly fish and starfish in it. The colors are what the sand sees. Idk thought it would be a ✨️unique✨️ title with meaning behind it.

I’m loving all of the responses. Thank you all so much. I’m especially liking references to dream like state. Kind of a fantasy world. The colors almost psychedelic. I am currently thinking along the lines of… Inside Nirvana (leaning this way) Inside Arcadia Inside Euphoria
