Big Artwork

I just finished this larger watercolour & acrylic painting. It is for a friend, who lives in a beautiful typical Alsatian farm house. This is the background layer.
This is layer 1 & 2 together. Layer 1 was cut out to reveal parts of the background. It also is elevated, to give it some depth. The artwork is 70 x 50cm.
Here are some close ups.
She just got it today and loves it! Phew!

Wow Cathy, it really comes together with the layering. I wasn't sure what was happening with the first photo, but the complexity works well with the second layer when it screens the the background. I love a piece like this when it holds your attention long enough for you to question whats happening. Keep it up.

Thanks Adam, Yes it works better with the 2nd layer. I had fun doing it, although it took a long time. I only worked on it when I was kid-free or not exhausted.
