Perception in painting may lead to strange decisions. This painting of the artist's backyard where a neighbor's house gleaming in the sunlight became so abrasive the artist had to close his eyes and saw an after-image of the house surrounded by a black stripe is the origin of this painting. To translate this sensation into a painting required a graphic move – a black strip and a white drawing. Charlie Parker once noted that if one "acts a little silly, good ideas will come." This painting is an attempt to honor that idea. The Blue Jays could not care less.
