This is the first of many paintings that will appear in response to my trip to Israel. The background I created very spontaneously and quickly using leftover paint from some other work I was doing and had no real intentions for it at the time. However I was really happy with the result and I wanted to reflect the energy I felt painting in the main image, so I found two silhouettes of myself and my friend Alex dancing at a party in the forest. Might do a bit of tweaking to it - add some highlights to the figures to tie them in a bit more with the background, but overall I'm very pleased with it. It makes me happy looking at it, because I remember how happy we were dancing!
