I'll be paraphrasing Stanley Kaufman's comment on Norman Mailer's film Wild 90:

I cannot say that you were drunk when you did that. I can only hope you were drunk.  ;D
"Vivaldi didn't compose 500 concertos. He composed the same concerto 500 times" - Igor Stravinsky

"Mozart is a menace to musical progress, a relic of rituals that were losing relevance in his own time and are meaningless to ours." - Norman Lebrecht

Was it your artistic intention that many of the shapes came out conspicuously pixelated? Most notably, the oval shapes?
A legible handwriting is sign of a lack of inspiration.

No, remember that this is only a small file and its about 150 kb, while the original painting is 2 MB.

Can you upload the original painting then? Giving you the benefit of the doubt, a picture of lesser resolution can suggest a sloppiness on the part of the painter, rather than an artifact of the miniaturisation.

Click this link , its still the same size 150kb but the painting is more clear and looks better.

Ok, that picture was better. Now, another question. The oval shapes mentioned earlier, they seem sharply superimposed on the background. Was that deliberate? Before one can form an opinion on a painting, I think it is important to know what is an intentional effect, and what is simply an consequence of a smaller file and all that that entails.

Yes, it was.

This painting is digitally created. I have used a software called "Corel Painter IX" to create this painting. Therefore, you can add all these different types of shapes.

Everyone creates such things when they have their first chance to play with a computer paint program.  It's the rare person who imagines that anyone else would want to look at such things.

Everyone is a big word.
