Afternoon Work

Last night, probably as the result of some late afternoon coffee, I could not get to sleep. Among the things I turned over in my mind was what to do with the backgrounds in the America series, as I'm thinking of calling it. Should they all be identical? Should they be really simple, to focus the viewer's attention on the individual? Should there be some sort of message? Anyway, I got to sleep around 5 a.m. and slept until 10, so the only painting I worked on this morning was Dion. But here's this afternoon's work.
