Layer By Layer

My current painting experiment using graphic elements is steadying taking form, layer by layer. I worked on the clouds in the background first, knowing that they would be partially covered by the trees in the foreground. The next layer to be painted was the green trees in the distance. Yesterday I worked on the trees in the foreground. I painted some of the darker leaf areas and today hopefully will finish the painting with the lighter leaf colors, patterns and details. It is a fun experiment. I plan to do a series of paintings exploring this style of painting.
