I started painting a while ago, mainly because I find it therapeutic and it helps me escape the stress and hustle and bustle.
I’ve never shared any of my paintings before – so this is a first.
I finished this one today and what can I say…I’m very pleased with it – even though I still don’t really know what I’m actually doing.

@don_pipone Thats amazing. Love the melancholy.

What kind of paint is it? Almost looks like masonry paint. Parts of it look like US cities where they extensively buff tags in different shades of grey.

@will6er thank you so much!
I can see why you think that. It‘s actually acrylic paint mixed with some grit paste which gives its texture.

@don_pipone love it

@goosehd thanks mate! Appreciate it

@don_pipone thanks for sharing - that takes a certain amount of courage! For what it’s worth, I really like it.

[don_pipone]

@ARNC thank you!!
Actually my wife told me to share it. Without her encouragement, I would probably have kept it to myself forever.

[ARNC]

@don_pipone I don’t have one of those, but I’ve heard they’re always right

[goosehd]

@don_pipone …that would have been a shame. Thank you wife for us!!

[don_pipone]

@ARNC I asked her if that’s true and she confirmed it.

[don_pipone]

@goosehd thanks! I will

Happy wife happy life. Looks great @don_pipone

[don_pipone]

@Tago-Mago Can‘t argue with that. Thank you!

@don_pipone thanks for sharing, I think it’s really compelling.
