I can't wait to come over and touch it. I love 3D paintings!
Seriously though - I like this a lot - spent a good two minutes just gazing when I saw it...
I see you've made friends with those aforementioned pallet knives. You've managed to retain your sense of rhythm too - many interesting strokes and shapes here... I think you've just made another favorite or mine.
Without losing your sense of spontaneity and expressiveness, the next thing to consider is composition and balance. Specifically, with regard to the edge of your composition here - the edges create a "saw tooth" pattern - something of a frame, I guess - I'm not 100% certain that this was intentional. Most of the imagery in the painting is well balanced and nicely placed, but consider cropping the left edge OR adjusting/adding strokes to make it less regular.
Keep up the great work!

As for the edges, they were intentional to begin with, but then I was struck on a wild tangent and forgot all about them. By the time I noticed they were grossly disproportioned, I decided to ere on the side of caution lest I do any more damage. Plus, I find it a little difficult to detect small flaws and lack of balance/symmetry when I've been staring at the same painting for too long.
Speaking of which, I do all of my paintings in one sitting, usually in under an hour. Is this bad? Should I be taking more time with my work?
