My opinion..I like the painting. I might be the only one, but I see faces in the veggies. Notice how the woman is lighter in color than the man in the background. His attention is thwarted towards the two people in the doorway on the right of the piece. His mouth is turned down in sickened grimace. The righter side is also darker than the left side..Possibly signifying evil of somesort. It may be me, but those look like two men, not kissing, but it looks like one is biting the other on the neck..O.o
I like how everything is directed subtly towards the people in the doorway. The vase with the spray of vegetation is even pointing that way. But the woman is content and looks unaware of what is going on in the background.
The cow just looks stoned.

I dont like it. I dont like the style used and its not very interesting. I see the couple in the background, the man has his arm around the woman and is pointing to something with the other arm. It looks as if they have just arrived there. The cow does look stoned. The man in the back is darker b/c of the shade from the roof over his head. Hopefully you will keep this up but pick better artists :D
