At first glance a painting may seem to be flat, like a stained-glass window. Then the composition reveals an illusion of space. In this painting, there are several overlapping elements that give a sense of depth and rhythm. The great Japanese print designer Hiroshige used this technique a lot, albeit in much more realistic scenes. I was just cleaning my palette after quite a few fall paintings over the last week.
