❌Not A Rothko❌

This is NOT a Rothko. A lot of people out there are claiming it was painted by the King of Color Fields. Nope, I do like it, but it's obviously not a Rothko.

Neither are the two below

Not a Rothko, but I love it! Luckily I was able to find out who painted this one. Her name is Susan Wolfe Huppman and the title of her painting is "Pink Rothko." I think she's a lot better than the first artist.

Susan Wolfe Huppman - "Rothko Wall Candy" - 2019 - Oil on canvas - 36" x 36" - It's cool, but Pink Rothko is my favorite of her color fields.

This is another of her color fields titled "Karma" - oil on canvas - 48" x 36" 🔽

She is really good, here's more of her stuff 🔽

Susan Wolfe Huppman - Everyday -2023 acrylic on canvas - 48" x 48"

It's so funny to me when people post about how "the horrors" is their favourite Tumblr Phrase™ that tumblr came up with. they don't know that that was one of father of Irish republicanism Theobald Wolfe Tone's favourite ways to describe his general situation from 1795 - 1798
