Any art lovers out there?

Way back in 2006, during the World cup, we had our floors re-sanded. Not being a big soccer fan, or even an artist for that matter, I put down some water colours. I had taken a day off from work ( for the floors ), nursing a bad hangover, I came up with this painting. At the time, I had no goal, or inspiration, just wasting time. The painting sat for about 8 years till my wife told me to hang it up, so I went to go buy a frame, and up it went. Looking at it now, it almost looks like a player with his arms up in the air.... Just thought I'd share.

That painting reminds me of Edvard Munchs painting "The Scream"

Your death section features some very deep content. The Ferrari F40 also looks amazing! I have seen your work in the past, I completely forgot how talented you are, I'm sorry I have such short term memory. Thanks for showing this again!
