The photo above is a picture I had taken outside of the Louvre museum in France. When I first saw this work of art I was captivated by how creative this man was. I was intrigued by how much detail and structurer was in his art work. I did not even realize at a first glance what the picture was (Jesus with a peace sign) I was just amazed by the colors. He seemed so happy and focused drawing that he did not pay much attention the people dropping money in his pan.

By the time I left the museum it was raining heavily, when I checked on the mans work of art it was gone, all I saw was just a bunch of colors fading on the ground. I saw the artist under his umbrella holding his art supplies and just smiling as his art just washes away. At that moment I realized that he discovered his talent and loved what he did and nothing could take away from his happiness. After spending hours drawing his picture on the floor for it to be washed away before it was completed was not a big deal to him because he looked like he enjoyed drawing.

My opinion is that the public paints a image of entertainers to judge. Whether the image is god or bad at some point it fades away just like the artist in Frances picture. Look at Michael Jackson even though the public ridiculed him at times for his alleged molestation charges, his looks, the way he  lived his life etc., he  never stopped  doing what he loved (making music). He knew with time that the allegations and “haters”  would eventually wash away. Throughout his legendary career the public painted so many different images of who they thought he was. My point is that entertainers now who are facing legal issues need to be like Michael Jackson in the sense of letting the negativity wash away and let there talent be what they are remembered for. (don’t be good be great!)

With that being said life is short we all have responsibilities and obligations to live up to but at the same time we need to take time out for ourself and do what makes us feel good even if it fades away or disappear with not trace left behind, That moment of happiness is priceless. Everything in this world must go no one is promised tomorrow so feed your soul with happiness.
