Rain's Thursday Art Date - Swiped


I decided to go with a newer definition of 'swiped'. On Tinder and perhaps other online dating apps, 'swiping right means you approve of a male/female after judging them by a few picture and a short bio. "Swipe right" can be used anytime you make a good choice or approve of something.' This is according to the Urban Dictionary.

 So my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") depicts a 'swipe right' on an online dating app.  My daughter was shaking her head at me, 'Mom!  You  are not supposed to know these things at your age!'  I just chuckled and had fun with this one.

  1. *LOL* To be honest, that was my first thought when I read the theme "Swipe!". We have some tv ads for dating apps playing with this term/sentence.

  3. Christine.

    There are so many of these online dating apps and sites. Just about every commercial we see on Hulu lately is for dating. I think there are at least three or four different ones we see repeatedly over the course of an evening of binge watching. Great take on this week prompt! of course, you 'swipe' when you use any app on a mobile device. :) Thanks for joining me today, my friend. Please stay safe, be well, and have a paintastic day!

  4. Interesting. I don't own a smart phone, so cannot do this. I own a flip phone.

  6. LOL, young people don't realize how much we older folks know (and do,for that matter). This is a great use of the prompt swipe. I have to swipe up just to turn my phone on ... haven't made it to a dating app yet as I am knocking on 56 years of marriage (oh my). Loved this post,Christine ... stay well and swipe away :)

  10. I smiled at your artwork after reading your explanation. It's funny how we can take our kids by surprise at times. I'll say to him "I'm jiggy!" Whatever that means ;)
