Prompt 3: What is Your Favorite Painting and Why?

I have always found it difficult to know what my favorite painting is.  Perhaps, my absolute favorite painting is "The Scream" by Edvard Munch.  Why is the main character of the painting screaming? Is he in pain, is he shocked about something, is it even a he?  Is the sky behind him a sunset?  Who are those people behind him?  Perhaps they are a manifestation of his consciousness trying to help him to determine a right or a wrong thing to do.  Often times people will rely on their inner voice to try to find their next course of action.  At this juncture of my life, I am wondering if I am still on the right path.  I have been a paraprofessional twice now and while I do enjoy what I have learned, is it the job that I have wanted for the time? I don't know.  Perhaps I am thinking too much on that at the moment.  I am still trying to teach myself how to be a better illustrator and perhaps even writer.  Just my two cents at the moment--Happy New Year 2018 everyone.
