The duality of trading
I painted this while my app traded. Trading is binary. You want to buy or you want sell. Never knowing for certain which will make you money. It's like the two people that live in all of us. The part of you that wants to do the right thing and the other self that constantly wants to do the wrong thing. Like smoke cig's, or eat doughnuts or drink liquer at 9 am.

I forgot what I named this. Lips I guess.
Yea, I was so sick from Lyme and the brain fog that came with it I bought a watercolor kit a year ago and started painting. I don't hate this.
