I like dabbling with oils: It was only after my first painting class at the end of my college years I realized I should have majored in 2D art instead of graphic design, for my enjoyment factor alone.
Recently, a friend was commenting on one of my pieces and saying he felt the sadness and desperation the painting was about — which is why it’s probably good I ultimately ended up focusing on my minor of English: The work was an experiment in the exact opposite emotions.
