The traditional icon painters in Orthodox Christianity began with a black surface and brought light and colour into the darkness. I followed that pattern here, and was very happy with the result. As it developed on the easel there were times it reminded me of the Japanese art that inspired Van Gogh. Finished, I think it still has a bit of that feel.
