Life and art are inevitably entwined. All I know is that two premises can exist together. One can be mean and kind, happy and sad or idillic or plagued by life's dramas. Life is long and has contrast.

Pound Farm by Cedric Morris c. 1930
Oil on Canvas
(Ipswich Museums and Galleries)
To followers who don't know this is an example of a house painted 'Suffolk Pink". It dates back to the 14th Century and was generally a mix of pig or ox blood and limewash.
