Acrylic Painting - Collaborative Art Journey [30]

Dear friends,

here is my entry for the 30th Collaborative Art Journey by @everlove. If you've never heard about this challenge, here is a short explanation:

@everlove provides us an image and invites all the Steemit-artist to be creative and ...

TRANSFORM IT as many times as you wish! - Print the image or do whatever it is you do to add to/or alter it, (i.e., including but not limited to painting, drawing, adding other photographs, collaging, altering it digitally or however you wish . . .or perhaps even adding a tune, poetry, a story, a gif, a video, a book, or other imaginative play.

My Vision

Here is my approach to transform the source image into an acrylic painting:

This has been the original image provided by @everlove:

As you can see, I was not so exact with the geometrics. It was a bit challenging for me to actually paint using a reference, because I've rarely done that before.

Here is a bit of a making-of

I printed the original image, turned it by 90 degree and hung it on the wall in my studio.

After roughly trying to copy the original, I realized that I would rather use it as an inspiration...

Here is another process image, where you can see, that I began to freestyle a bit more.

Finally I decided to do my famous "outline trick".

Here is a mockup image to give you an idea, how the painting would look in a cool room.

And here is a side-by-side comparison between the original image and my painting:
