After the first experiment with painting a 'double exposure' I wanted to explore the idea a bit further. This time I painted the addition to the landscape as my first layer and the landscape itself on top of that.
The idea of adding something to a ditch with pollard willows came up while talking about the first painting with the tree roots. What to add was the question and I decided on Goldfish.
So first I painted two fish swimming as the fish in my Zodiac sign swim.
After that dried I created an imaginary landscape with a ditch, pollard willows, bushes on the horizon and some structure in the grassland. Just like the Dutch 'polder' landscape I live in. This might be imaginary, this landscape is based on the views we have here, not far from where I live.
This was fun, the addition of the goldfish is not dominating the painting and that is what I wanted. To make a more equal 'double exposure' where the first image does not dominate the second or the other way around I need to experiment and practice a bit more. That is something to look forward to.
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this work and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can all be found in my Flickr account.
