dark

Recently an acquaintance commented that though he liked my paintings, he found them dark. But I don't really see it that way. These flowers... There is an undercurrent of sadness in all my work. Even objectively I can see it. How could I expect anything else? But I express sadness in beauty. That is how I am trying to fix things.

I really love this piece.
It's rare that I produce a piece of art or poetry that is fueled by joy...at the heart of most of my art is misery.
Maybe it's because when I feel happy, I'm content with that feeling. When I'm feeling shitty I want it to pass. I need to induce its exit.
Anyway, wonderful stuff, madabandon!
