The background

 Taking a weekend away from this painting made it difficult to see it like I had before. I think darkening to background to the degree I did helps to emphasize the areas of color and contrast. I did not want the shapes to be immediately recognizable, either, lest the painting bear too many expectations as to what it is, rather than how it looks, and what can be seen within it.
