JOY

I have the overwhelming urge to paint out that background. I like painting people, but I don't like everything else like backgrounds. I like Klimts work because he focused on people and mood or atmosphere of emotion, and he also played with just design. For me his work was like combining portrait work with design and color..the design was done differently than the portraits. Unless someone posts something ...I think I am going to put Makenzie on a floating board and paint out the background. I'd like this piece to look more contemporary than just cutsie which I don't want...and I don't like the existing background anyway!
