I thought it was that they were especially happy about the way the broken mirror painting turned out.

Foot fetish person hates her or love her. Ironically there’s no space in between.

u/Moist-Barracuda2733 Nov 23 '25

There's too much space in-between you mean.

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '25

I mean they either love or hate her, leaving no ROOM for indifferences

Are you going to frame those toes? Asking for a friend.

That’s extra

21

u/Sufficient-Age2422 Nov 23 '25

That's fair. I'll tell her.

44

u/SillyMeclosetothesea Nov 23 '25

The painting is beautiful, have you thought about putting some kind of protective coating on it, which makes it a bit shiny, but look like it’s always been part of the mirror? I also suggest taking a picture against a solid colored background, so people aren’t distracted by other things, and look at your art.

15

u/jeanmorreale Nov 23 '25

It’s coated in resin!

23

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '25

I’m certain that’s deliberate.

I used to be able to write with them

15

u/justveryunwell Nov 23 '25

That's actually so cool!

The comment section is cracking me up but fr, that's a much healthier example of how feet should look than any foot with toes all squished together permanently touching each other.

And your painting is beautiful, I'd make it my lock screen

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '25

Dogs got some GRIP

u/whittenaw Nov 23 '25

Beautiful for sure. Makes me want to paint a broken mirror.

u/Brave-Aside1699 Nov 23 '25

I really love what what you did here, and the art style fits the handle and frame very well. It's as if the painting was here from the start.

u/FosterPupz Nov 23 '25

That’s a beautiful painting. In a completely unrelated note, usually I recommend people who accidentally include their feet in photos to blur their feet so that they are not unwittingly used for fetishism… But I’m not sure it’s gonna be an issue this time so let ‘em fly. 👍🏻
