Sunset over Arles

In this experimental piece I wanted to explore a particular compositional design style called strata. I had the painting in what I thought was a perfect place and then it happened: I dropped some gold colored oil by accident. Well, as the saying goes: if you make a mistake repeat it elsewhere which is exactly what I did. The result was so much better than I expected. At the end of it all, the painting reminded me of Vincent Van Gogh and how he lived in his small room and what his view may have been.
