Easy for Leonardo.

The final pieces of the oil drum welded in an abstract pattern and painted.
I think the colors are pretty good, especially the texture. Maybe it's perceived by others, maybe the artist is the only one who sees it that way. Artists always find more in their art than anyone else can discover. They know all that is, or isn't, there.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: my idea of a successful painting is one that makes me hungry to start on another one. To immediately continue the hot pursuit. To have time for nothing else. To rush out the door, tearing after the golden mirage.
This small painting didn't fail me. Watch my smoke . . .
