It's getting close to midnight here and I'm getting a little sleepy while sitting here in my chair staring blankly at the computer screen in front of me. On my side screen I got the new danish netflix series "The Rain" going that premiered today on, yeah you guessed it, Netflix!
It's cool and it's fun and all to see a former classmate Mikkel Følsgaard on the big screen having success, and even though we were never that close I guess there will be some kind of amusement in telling my future children that yeah, I knew that movie star back in the days while we were just kids ourselves.
I'm still struggling with finding inspiration for steemit, mostly due to the dawning realization that almost no one actually reads what you write and that basically all my upvotes are autovotes and bots, but also due to my work taking up so much mental space that steemit has kinda been pushed into the background for now. I don't know if you can recognize the above (which is slightly ironic since you probably won't be reading this anyways) but honestly, no matter if I write a 1000 words with 10+ pictures, or just make a 100 word post with one picture for a photochallenge, the upvote value will still be more or less the same before doing bidbots and half the comments will be "Amazing view, great picture", even though you put up a totally unfocused picture of a fucking pineapple.
acryllic paint on white tapestry, approx. 1,5m x 1,5m
I did this painting a few years back for a friend and his old girlfriend in their new apartment and it was quite a creative experience as I had never really done anything like it in that size. Sure I'd swung the brushes around before but never in the same scale and while I thought it wouldn't be that difficult I am now that lesson richer - it's incredible challenging!
The motive came from the girlfriend's sister and was a really good representation for all of us back then as we were kinda clueless as to were our respective lives were heading, it was never spoken out loud but I think each of us there could see ourselves sitting there pondering what the hell to do next.
As with all other things in life though shit started to happen and all too soon our little symphony of bewilderment was replaced with some kind of purpose ine one form or another. I started a strange but strong relationship with , my friend finally found a job he enjoyed and the next big love and both girls, his ex and her sister, found their own happiness in completely different directions.
I feel like I've kinda lost my point somewhere up there but I basically just wanted to show you this awesome painting that I'm quite satisfied with myself (which is a rare thing in itself), and just reassure you all that it's all gonna work out, even if you some day find yourself squared down a giant ass question-mark feeling lost and confused.
Have a good night steemians and stay awesome.. looking forward to read your comments on how amazing the view is!
