Smelled like victory

I miss being surrounded by large canvas and jars of acrylic paint, the smells and feels, the "identity" of a painter of wiping paint all over your clothes and thinking nothing of it.

I didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' unpainted spot. The smell, you know that acrylic paint smell, the whole canvas. Smelled like victory.

Thanks for being in my life.
