Art is quirky

I took the first photo after asking for permission from the artist. He was sitting, barefoot, on a bench near his artwork. He was chatting with a young couple about his work and showing them all of his paints. I had been looking at his artwork for a while; it was all so colorful and provoking. I especially liked the box that said “I think outside” on it and the “A better world” sign. He greeted me with a big smile and said “Why hello there!” I asked if I could take a photo for a school project. He said “Sure, you can even take the picture for your mom!”

The second photo is of an apartment window with lace curtains and a fire escape in front of it. The apartment is dirty gray stone with black accents. It is beautiful (especially the contrast between the dirty outside and the delicate lace curtains), but it is also ordinary. It is commonplace. It is very different from the colorful photo of the artist.
