I went back and forth with whether I should include this painting in the Mood Lights series. The original light source is a television in an otherwise dark room, as opposed to the rest of the series which is lit by strings of colored lights. I decided that yes, it belongs here, because most of us do have very strong emotional connections to that specific source of light, which tap into the very subconscious realms of memory and childhood which the series explores in the first place. Also, of course, because I fell in love with the way the light on the wall behind my model made a beautiful transition from pink to blue, and because of the way it affected the colors in the shadows and highlights of her skin.
