this is stunning... i assume that you took a photo of this... if i may suggest that you focus on one part of the artwork, so that your camera has a focal point to work with. that should help to clean up the shot more... it is just a suggestion as i really don't know what kind of camera you used. :D

how do you achieve such a high quality finish in what seems like a short amont of time? how do you work? I'm interested because your paintings are have quality far beyond mine
:iconmsdesigns:
Very bizarre work. Very nice colors and nice textures. How do you get this texture on the background?

this past decade, haven't produced much. When this one was done, in the seventies, I had learned to work fast and some shortcuts from my surrealist predecessors. Too much to explain here, but research the technique of decalcomania, you might find some answers there.

bg texture: acrylic underpaint, fully dried, misted with alcohol, then powdered gold dusted over and wiped off again.
Haven't done this anymore for thirty years.
Cheers

guess everyone goes through a Renaissance Master mode. Interesting - he's is Arcimboldi, most of which is housed in Vienna, since the Habsburgs collected it (and most of Bosch also).
Cheers
Otto
