"In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you're told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is." (Simon Hoggart)
"Someone like you" oil on canvas - first painting completed in Baltimore
As an artist who just moved from New York to Baltimore with my wife, I'm unsure what the city's natives tell people. At this current moment, I have no job to speak of, do not possess any riches, and find my monthly rent nothing to brag about. However, I am eager to learn and familiarize myself with this Baltimore Art scene I'm now immersed in.
I look forward to continuing my growth as a painter here in Baltimore... unfortunately minus the subway system and a professional basketball team. But at least this city bred the curious mind of John Waters... maybe that will be the first thing I tell people.
