I was drawn to a portrait painting of a young woman in a hat that hung on the wall of a 2nd hand store. At the time the draw was so overwhelming I just had to buy it. I'm an artist myself and normally wouldn't buy other's works because my home is bursting at the seems with my own hanging paintings. I digress. The painting I bought over time gave me the sense that the woman sitting in the painting was a very pensive and troubled soul - depressed. Either that or I was picking up on the artist who painted her. I don't know, but the painting eventually gave me a dark feeling and I no longer wanted her around.

I donated the painting, canvas only, to a local charity, but kept the frame and have since painting my own version of a pensive, yet, serene woman. I put her into the old frame.

Items can effect ones mood I believe.
