Okay, there a few things I like about this, and a few things I don't.
First, the lack of outlines is a ballsy move. Usually it's good to use outlines, but sometimes, especially in a more minimalist work, it's best on an aesthetic level to do without them. I also like how the bench is drawn to look three-dimensional in a convincing way; it doesn't look too bad. I also like the way the clouds are drawn, or rather, uhh... it's one of those pieces where the artist kinda poked the paper with the brush, instead of making strokes, to make the clouds.
Now, I' not such a fan of how the guy is drawn. He's on his knees, in the middle of the sidewalk(?), but the way he's positioned is kinda weird. Is it just me, or does he seem a little too big compared to the bench? Finally, the horizon looks odd. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I don't imagine it appearing this flat of a line.
There are some experiments with perspective that form something of a mixed bag, but I think there's a lot of story potential here.

This one feels like a very good start to something. A rough draft, I guess. You had a good idea, and the skill and effort were definitely there, but there are much better tools out there that you won't find on MS Paint.
That being said, the intended emotion is still clear.
Thank you for submitting.

Hahahaha I totally used paint for the color. It was a complete rush job at the end because kids eat up a lot of time.

Two months late, but thank you for the critique. I'm glad some of what I attempted was even noticed :)
As for the guy/bench wierdness, that's just my lack of skill with perspective. The bench is easy because I could just use a ruler, but perspective on organic shapes is not something I really have the ability to do.
