I stood on the deck at a party in Eagle Rock looking down on the streetlights and when they didn’t all blow out plunging LA into darkness that’s when I knew the 21st century was gonna suck.

Midnight in the city. 🌃✨
This painting captures that specific urban mood—the heavy texture of the night sky, the glow of streetlights, and the quiet movement of people past towering architecture. There's a beautiful, thick impasto energy here.

Did not get the usual e-mails, which tells me the system isn't as automated as I thought it might be by now.
We'll see if anything comes today, besides the standard "not our fault!" press release below, currently leading at WOOD.

“I don’t know why young people thought everything was so easy in the past.” You & your husband raised 4 children on one salary. You also raised 4 children on one salary at a time where it was normal to kick your kids out of the house all day and tell them to come home when the streetlights turned on

“According to the staff this one is apparently especially for her cruelty,” Grace added.
Evelyn cocked a brow as that was hard to believe. Drusilla made Evelyn's crime scene appear amateurish… how sadistic does she have to be to be noticed by Drusilla?
“Did you get a name?”

The stories I have! The same Gen-X that will share the "We drank out of water hoses and stayed out until the streetlights came on," are the same screaming the dicks out of teachers for their kids shitty behaviors. Then I was dealing with young Millennial and Gen-Z parents they raised🙃
