Today I spent four hours with a couple of my friends at my favorite restaurant, Bea’s. Andy came but left for Atlanta, after just a few minutes without eating, to see Elton John and Billy Joel (jerk). We ended up getting into a great conversation and stayed much, much, longer than I expected, but it was very good. We talked a lot about my recent relationship and breakup. It got me really thinking and by tonight I was pretty depressed, so I decided to do some painting to get my mind off of it. I painted this picture of the old clown, Emmett Kelly, which really captured my mood at the time.
