Happy today Glum tomorrow!

I left myself a little bit annoyed by my last post.  I recently read an article with Jeff Koons talking a little bit about how his work really has no hidden meaning, but that he just wants to make the viewer happy.  I don't know if I believe this fully because to me I think it is impossible to only think of one thing at a time.  I do know that it was a main goal of the Pop Art movement.

But I AM Happy!

And I was wrong, I do enjoy looking at "happy" pictures.  Why should I find sad pictures more appealing?  Maybe I should change my perspective!  Maybe I, the artist, should set forth on a path of happy art.

happy, happy, happy.

I am not sure how this is going to play out.  In what form my new happy art is going to take shape.

And I'm not ready to do it yet.  I'm in the middle of painting a few images that are not really going to fall into this category.  But they do make me happy even though they aren't happy!  AHHH I'm confused!

(that's another new one up there, she's pretty glum)

maybe I should set up two categories... glum and happy... here's one for glum.
