An Art Work A Day

I am studying at the moment in an online course "A Beginner's Guide to Irrational Behavior" at Duke University. In connection with that some of us meet on google+ hangouts (online kollokvie group). Today two of us discussed what makes some people look for negative things and wondered whether these people really believed in them, in other words do they use self deception. That inspired today's painting. Because these people we talked about almost exclusively see black (negative side of things) and not the white (the positive side of things and other persons) except from themselves of course,  and very rarely colors (all the variations in why people do what they do or why things turn out as they do) I chose to make a white on black image.

14.4.2013 Unhappy Musings - acrylics on paper A3 30x42cm $200 Free SH This one looks great with a white mount and a simple black frame.

Finally a few tiny suggestions of flowers have stuck their tiny leaves up of the ground in between the ice in my garden. No flowers yet on my primulas so I had to buy a one in the shops to get a feel of spring.
