I'm aware that I'm walking in Paul Klee's footsteps! But this all is a heap of details. What is missing is a composition. This is all much too chaotic. I'll start anew. What I like about it is the water color look. Painting with gouaches doesn't favour the variations of intensity, light and dark as you can see in the copper roof parts of the painting. Water color is translucient. This requires a different technique; I paint on white paper and mount it on the black background. The title is "A Temple for All".

It is stunning! I know what you mean about the differences between the two paint media. They both have their own unique traits, both of which I love.
As for the composition, I think you may be over-thinking. It feels solid yet ethereal, balanced but slightly off balance. Perfect in my eyes.
Bright as ever !!! Eva, you did it well ! Love this one (though I liked the bit upside down one too ;-) ....)
i think it is magnificent.
Thank you for liking this painting! This encourages me to carry on working on the issue.
Thank you Eva for this wonderful temple! I will happily go visit there and feel VERY good! :-)
During all human time and all over our world temples have been built - ALWAYS in the most beautiful way - yours is right in line with them - and the best part of it? It is for EVERYONE! You cared for the details and colors and you put love and good energy in this painting - if Klee lived you two would be good friends...
Thank you so much, Yael, for your understanding!
This painting has been evolving for some time....
...inside you...
...where your "inner stone-age woman" lives, collecting all those little bits...
...and then they get put together to make a beautiful temple for us all to travel to in our dreams.
Chris, you are a poet!
