#stairs at #Lincoln #castle, which was constructed (11th century) by #WilliamTheConqueror & displays an original #MagnaCarta, a charter (1215) that established the principle that everyone, including the king, is subject to the law.

I mirrored/reflected spiral stairs with two men walking down. I use black and white only in order to highlight the structure.

Happy Wednesday everyone. I’ve been painting like crazy the last couple weeks. Thought I’d start sharing some of the recent work.

Will there be a point where posting to Twitter will tarnish your reputation or brand? In the early days Twitter became an excellent platform for Journalists. Many a career benefited from posting. Now your content is mixing with some, for lack of better term, slop. Hard to give up that follow list?
