Moody Broody

Last week I was turned down for a showing because the general tone of my paintings is too dark. I expect this, I mean, they are pretty "dark". I don't know about too, but they are dark. I wish there was another word for dark? I was watching a film the other day and I heard the quip "moody broody" and I like it! Anyway, this series of paintings does not belong in an ice cream shop or the like. I'm not sure where they belong.

The rejection of the black and whites has given me the perfect opportunity to explore another series I've stumbled on.. ..but I don't foresee my foray into the black and whites ending anytime soon!
