Working on something a little different. What are your thoughts for the background? Should I cut it out or paint it? if I paint it what do you imagine it to look like?

I've carved my inspired space and place background painting for my bearded dragon's enclosure reno. This is round one of making way for the landscape. Simple. My usual style involves adding multiple layers. I know sometimes breaking away from habit can be good, too. What do uou think?

There is something about the very first layer, alone, that I just loved. I don't hate the second layer though. Should I be done? The habitual part of me insists that I must add at least one more layer in order to have completed a process to be done. I'm enjoying the simplicity, here, though. Or... do I do the usual thing and keep layering becauseuse it needs MORE and it will be worth it?

Whats your vote?
(A) Less is more (keep it just like this)
(B) Paint 3 and let it be. (Add one more subtle layer)
(C) Do what you do and keep layering like you do. Reno

Please inquire about sizing and such for anything that piques your interest. My apologies for not having sizing posted yet.
