Yellow At MFAH

For reasons I don't understand, this self-portrait at the museum has been stuck in my head. Decided to go ahead and draw it so he'll leave me alone.

Now I'm getting the strange sensation that other paintings are looking at me asking me to do theirs too.

This one created quite a stir. One exchange was with a woman laid back in a wheel chair. A museum attendant grabbed the drawing out of my hand and held it high to show her, then I heard a squeal of delight. The museum attendant then seemed to scold me, "SEE. You just made her happy!" I turned around and told the woman, "That guy looks cocky, huh?" She squealed out laughing.

I even had a girl that wanted to stay and watch, but her mother dragged her away.

It's all gotten mixed up in wizards and Harry Potter... Snapes...

That man there had a piece of cotton in his ear telling me it was his turn to talk and that he wasn't gonna listen. He wanted to give a piece of his mind... and he wasn't happy about having to put down his book...

He looks like a Lemony Snicket character.
