This one builds upon "Parties". It symbolizes the spark of life that is in everything, the joy of being alive, molecular activity, etc.

This one followed immediately after "Parties", like a 2-part art class. While I was doing "Parties", I had an overwhelming urge to paint a new canvas solid blue. And it had to be this very particular blue. So I did that, and it sat there for a couple of days while I finished "Parties". I didn’t know what else was going onto this blue, or if it was finished or what.
