Jayme, I think you succeeded in what you set out to do. I almost mentioned that when I feel like staring at it and pondering deeper ideas that it brings out from my thoughts and feelings that it is very like when I do the same with, say, something like Lady of Shallot by Waterhouse. But yours works much better as a daily background as it has colors and textures that don't distract one from working when one needs to work. But it also allows for something more deep to be experienced as art should. Regardless of how things turn out with the default background, you have created a really beautiful background and I hope you know and get satisfaction from our appreciation for it.
