Original artwork description:

Recently I love overpainting earlier works I was´t really happy with. I feel that it suits the paintings well and this is a way of painting similar to the old Dutch masters, painting in thin layers from gouache, egg tempera to oil. Oil in former times was too expensive to use for the whole painting. Nowadays, it is not a question of expensiveness but of light. Many different layers make an impression of lots of light behind the clouds, and I love to catch this special light very much. This abstract painting reminds me of a stormy morning at the still wild sea, the morning light breaking through already making a wonderful atmosphere of dawn. Morning is a synonym for a new chance in life, a new start, new promises and so it is a symbol of hope. Every morning, we start a new life.

80x80x2 cm, Gouache, Pastels, Oil on gallery wrapped canvas. Signed on the back, ready to hang. Would love a white or silver deep frame, though. If you want me to arrange that, please contact me. Certificate of Authenticity included.
