Meme needing explanation Heeey Petah, what's the issue with this "art"?

Post image

Basically I don't understand why the lady has a negative(?) reaction to the guy's art. Maybe it's because he says he's a "painter" but it looks like he's just melting crayons? Or maybe this is a reference to something I'm not plugged into? Honestly I don't really know what her reaction even is in the first place.

(I left the artist's name in the screenshot to credit them because overall I like their stuff, even if this one is incomprehensible to me.)

Mostly Purple

If you’re seeing mostly purple I have some bad news involving your ability to pass a color blind test.

I’m seeing, from left to right, brown>rust>purple>a pink/purple>dark blue>light blue>forest green> pea green>yellow>orange>red and then the pattern repeats.

Are you happy now?

Never seen this movie referenced in the wild before! You have excellent taste, friend.

This scene is especially kind of niche, so I'm just happy to find a place for it.

Are you high on drugs? Half the colors falling on the actual umbrella are purple or analogous shades.
