Happiness Print

As most painting go for me, I start with a crystal clear idea of what I want. I knew for sure that I wanted a bright contrast of color on a black surface, and that was enough for me to start working. Hours later, and also as most paintings go for me, I looked at the canvas and thought, "What the hell have I done." Pure dread. I had accomplished only a mess of colors on my crisp black canvas, and feel like I've gone absolutely nowhere. That crystal clear image that I had in my head was a trap, and now I'm stuck with this disaster. I tried to think my way out of it, but thinking is what fucked me over in the first place, and in a fit of frustration, I turned my brush around, and carved into the thick glob of paint a smiley face. As I lay in the X shaped eyes and the wide, cheek to cheek smile, I had immediately felt a change in the universe. In my moment of desperation and rage, the craft that I love brought forth an impulse so pure, and so vibrant, that I was able to finish the piece. The smiley face, though a total contradiction to my prior feelings, was the inevitable destination to which I have now arrived. Happiness.
