Art in R.L.

Finished a painting I've been working on for two years. It wasn't as if it took two years of work to do it, it was more like it took two years to get enough free time to work on it with the world and it's crazy  ways combined with editing two books and trying to write seven more! I think it's important to do art in the real world jus to sharpen your skills and change your thinking. There is no Command+Z for correcting mistakes when you're doing a painting. Who it comes to mistakes, like children, you have to own them.
The painting was from a photo I took when I was in Paris on Rue d' République. It was raining and I wanted to go on a walk. No one in the apartment wanted to go with me so I headed off to this main ave in the 11th district and followed this street until it transformed into a canal. This is one of those golden sphere moments for me that I'll always cherish.
