Originally, the background of the painting was white, but at the very last minute I squirted a huge glob of black paint onto the picture, and used a fat brush to fill in the entire background. Something about painting with a color so bold, so unchangeable was strangely liberating, and I actually love how it really made the colors pop in the image! This picture was kind of an experiment, just a little burst of inspiration that led into a full-fledged work of art, but I love how it turned out, and it feels very Virginia!
