Painters talk about happy accidents. I painted this and accidently got a drop of staining green on the white background, . ruined it! &. wouldn't come out.. so, like any inventive painter who wants to save their work, I wet, carefully, around the raffia and laid in a paynes gray and indigio background letting it seep in the wet areas..
