Can't go up from my dive

Ocean Life No 5, gouache on black cardboard, 8,5x11,7"
Have to tell you something. When I was a very young child of 3 or 4, I loved painting on black paper, preferring yellow and lime green. How typical is this for a kid of that age? I also imagined angels to be black. Kind and loving, but black.

  2. I remember having a dream of colored figures on black background when I was a child. I wonder if this is how children see (hypnagogic state) when they close their eyes before sleep?
