"Reflections" - abstract landscape on wood

As often happens when I start a new series of abstract landscape paintings, each new one becomes a bit simpler in composition as I eliminate elements and find that sweet spot in painting the essence of what I am trying to say and how the series is making me feel.

This painting is larger than the previous two, and yet the simplicity feels right. The depth of colours and the minimal lines feel enough for me. I'm falling in love with these layers of blue more and more.
