Wow, so many ideas I had for this one, but what I'm submitting came by, by accident. This was actually a painting I'd done a few years ago when Peyton invited people to create something in honor or Pride Month, with the theme "Love Wins," (I think that was the theme) to be exhibited at Jen's wonderful McCrae's Sustainable Goods store in Marblehead. I had many ideas of what I wanted to do for that, none of them ended up the way I wanted them to, including this one, so I ended up putting in something else. So, I decided I wanted to reuse this canvas and was spreading black paint on it to create a black background for what I had in mind. Then when I looked at the paint all over it, I thought - um, that's kind of how some of us are feeling right now - like some of the light, love, acceptance and kindness that needs to be so out there, are just being painted over in black. I did end up doing something with this afterward, for another prompt, to get posted in a bit.
