    Appreciation of art is always 100% subjective (except technique). So your opinion is just as valid.

      Oh for sure, I believe everyone’s opinion is valid as well. I’m just surprised that seeing him paint made me appreciate the art more. That is interesting to me. It reminds me of monks making sand mandalas, like he was meditating. I doubt he was drunk since he has to paint systematically and mainly on one leg.

        If he was an alcoholic, he would be “normal” at a certain blood alcohol level. At some point people drink only to avoid withdrawal, which can be lethal in the case of alcohol. I can absolutely see that the process of creating something influences how one perceives it.
