Emergence 2.0

The other day, I posted this page and shared that I wasn't happy with it. I couldn't stop thinking about the page afterwards, so I did something about it.

I hope that the close-up photos show the bit of original paint texture peeking through the layers. 

I really love experimenting with the different possibilities.
