A Recursive Series of Paintings Inspired by One Woman’s Second-Ever Work of Art

Over the last couple of weeks, Reddit users have been slowly but steadily breaking the internet’s space-time continuum with a series of recursive paintings. The fateful catalyst was posted on Reddit two weeks ago, with a photo of a woman holding a painting of a bird, her second painting ever. The photo’s caption, “My mom painted this and said no one would like it. It’s her 2nd painting,” inspired another user to paint a painting of the woman holding her painting, captioned “I painted somebody’s mom,” and mayhem ensued from there… You can follow the progress of this real-life meme via this Github page.

This is her second painting ever.
