I intended to do the painting a little at a time, but a burst of energy overtook me today and I decided to have a painting marathon. Well, maybe it was looking at my social calendar for the next week and realizing that if it didn't get done today, that back wall wasn't going to paint itself while I slept.
It reminds me of a smart remark of Ivaan's: "They said it couldn't be done. So I didn't do it."
The photograph on the wall is, in itself, a total treasure. It's a 2006 limited edition called Miracle of Order, by our good friend John Bladen Bentley.
