Textual Complexity vs. Visual Simplicity

[oshfdk]

The more I look at the paint job, the less I understand what happened. For example, the red insides of the flower above. Each circle is ~0.7 mm wide probably. The painter was very careful avoiding the circles and painting in between. Depending on what tool was used to apply the paint, I would call this a very delicate job. The result is bad and ugly, but certainly performed with some precision. Is it possible that the perceived sloppiness of the paint job is a combination of the scale (it's easy to forget how small the details are) and lack of a good tool to apply the paint?
