Making Sense

Not everything has to make sense. In life we are always looking for a reason, for the cause and effect but unfortunately it doesn't always exist. I recently painted a portrait of a girl with Spaghetti hair. When my family saw it they started asking questions: "Why is there spaghetti on her head? Is she angry? Why did you paint her? How did this happen?" The truth is I don't know. The image appeared in my head and after a few weeks I felt the need to get it out and onto a canvas. Maybe I was hungry and craving spaghetti but the point is that there isn't always an answer to life's questions and occasionally you have to accept that some things just exist.
