[insert eyes emoji] 17 and 26!

thank you <33

17. what’s your favorite painting? and describe how it makes you feel?

I'm gonna cheat a little and say Fountain of Youth by Richard Hambleton. Watched a great documentary about him, Shadowman, 6-ish years ago, and I still haven't forgotten his shadows. On first glance, it makes me feel excited, energized, like I want to jump too; looking at it more, it becomes spookier, something more eerie; and then finally, esp knowing Hambleton's history (many of his friends & peers died young, including both Harding & Basquiat; his struggles w/ addiction, poverty, and isolation), it becomes something sadder.

26. which of the 7 deadly sins do you struggle with the most? and which the least?

maybe a curve-ball here: I struggle with Wrath/Anger, in that it's not the sin I feel most often but it's the hardest for me to get a hold on. I'm a quintessential Enneagram 9 in that I'm normally I Don't Get Angry I'm Chill With Everything :)) which means in practice I can be really out of touch w/ my anger and/or it gets very internalized; being mean to others is a no-no, but being mean to or getting angry with myself, well. my inner angry voice can get pretty vicious! (or, for another angle, how I can really enjoy feeling irritated & annoyed sometimes. not great.)

the least is Envy. generally I love seeing good things happen to other people! success and happiness for my friends or people I know means I get to feel good too.
