Behind the scenes...

Often the background of a piece is lovely by itself. Though it's really just a few pieces of fabric stretched and glued onto the canvas board, the combination can be quite beautiful, thanks to the original fabric. In this case, I've also over-painted both the sky and multi-colored "water" fabric. 

There are many more layers to be added to this new collage, but I thought you might like to see this image before I add them.
