What Brought About this Painting?

For a few days around the Fourth of July, I drove to Charlottesville, Virginia to visit my aunt and we sat in the backyard as the evening fell. At the first signs of those small glows lifting from the grass, an idea of a painting started on how to capture that fascination, the joy of childhood in seeing lightening bugs starting every summer evening with their small yellow flashlights.
