I love to play with floating gouache colors on colored paper scraps. This tree landscape emerged when I tried to transfer the experience of the blurred landscape photography into real colors. I used a lot of water, the colors were added and removed in several layers.

Very beautiful, Martin and I’m really intrigued by the inspiration of the blurred landscape. Your gouache seems to bring the landscape into focus again but in a different and painterly way.
