Blank

I've started prepping my surface for a fence painting I want to do in my backyard. Though I've got some ideas - I'm open to any suggestions.

"Start with a blank surface. It doesn't have to be paper or canvas, but I feel it should be white. We call it white because we need a word, but its true name is nothing. Black is the absence of light, but white is the absence of memory, the color of can't remember."
