Painters today usually put their pictures
on the web so that more people see them.
They know that the digital background
against which they will seen will be neither white,
nor plain, and it is in the nature of paint and canvas
as a medium that a picture looks different on-line
than it will be in it's pigment.
And yet the habit persists in open art gallery spaces
that the walls should be mental hospital white
-for neutrality's sake-when anyone
with life behind their eyes can observe
how the white kills the life in the paintings.
