🔥 🎨 #Repost @clivebryantartist ・・・ Delighted to learn that my painting “Flight” has won 2nd place in the Abstract category of July’s #BoldBrush competition. This was the first abstract piece I had done in a while and (whilst self praise is no praise) I was pleased with how it turned out. 20” x 16” oil on mounted linen www.clivebryant.com @clivebryantartist

Happens way too often, more than you think. This new “Guilty, until proven innocent” country 💔 If you’re not privileged watch yourself, that paint you’re bringing back from vacation could ruin your life. Real life now. #Repost @washingtonpost ・・・ While visiting his family in Jamaica last Christmas, Leon Haughton made his regular stop and bought three bottles of his favorite honey. But when he landed back in Baltimore, customs officers detained Haughton and police arrested him, accusing him of smuggling in not honey, but liquid meth. He spent nearly three months in jail before all charges were dropped and two rounds of law enforcement lab tests showed no controlled substances in the bottles. By then, Haughton, who according to his lawyer had no criminal record, had lost both of his jobs as a cleaner and a construction worker. “They messed up my life,” Haughton told The Post. “I want the world to know that the system is not right. If I didn’t have strong people around me, they would probably leave me in jail. You’re lost in the system.” Read more of his story by clicking the link in our bio.
