Description
This is one of those semi-abstract paintings that are very tough to call "finished". I may go back and work on this some more - but it's fairly unlikely!Related content

Please, if you don't mind, tell us how you get this multiple-layer-look. Is it actually multiple layers blending in with each other or does it all come from scrathing, overpainting and erasing? Great, of course! Nice to see the one little leaf you stampt into the lower left area

This is a number of layers - some at 100% and others more transparent. Rather than paint onto an existing layer, I often over-paint on a new layer. The final appearance is the effect of all these different layers - kind of like looking at a tree, with all the leaves - gives you the whole impression. I hope this helps

Thanks a lot! I'm used to the more traditional one-canvas-approach, but I will definetly try to let my layers go free soon. Thanks for the quick response, too.
