Marriage looked good on Adrian. There was a contentment and a happiness in his eyes that someone who had known him just a few years ago would have found very alien there. But Sydney was good for him, and having her at his side had made him a better and happier person all around. Sure, Spirit was still there, and he was still fighting it on occasion, but nothing like it had been before. Really, things were looking good for him.
Today he was down by the river, his easel set up under a tree so that he could stay out of direct sunlight. He wasn't painting the river, not exactly. Adrian didn't really do realism. Instead, he was trying to paint the colors of it, to capture its essence without drawing it as a river. It was a much more Adrian way to paint.
He had a yeti tumbler full of iced tea next to him, and was rather proud of the fact that he wasn't drinking alcohol. He still had to abstain completely - even one drink could take him in a very wrong direction. He'd always be an alcoholic - but at least he could be in control of it.
He stepped back, looking at his painting with a smile as he took a sip of his iced tea. It wasn't bad.
