Your landscapes are always so impressive, you add so much into them! I always like how most of it is almost bllurred and suggesting form while you add detailed flora into it with a beautiful contrast of warm and cool tones

Nope, this is no place in particular. However it is very similar to the tall red rocks found in Utah: [link]

Cool! The blue light is very well done, gives an impression of the vast expanse of sky.

The color scheme is fantastic..!!!
I'm really glad there's a person in there to add a sense of proportion to the piece.
It's spot on!

Hahahaha I was just browsing the net looking for reference and this popped up. I was like "cool colors and so nice to have a person there" and I've just realized I had commented this before. So this stands the test of time!

BTW, I browsed through your entire gallery and I'm in awe. Amazing work! Your compositions are so good!!!!

Woow, this is so cool!
I like the pretty little details (like the drawings on the stones) and how the man sitting under the cliff isn't instantly visible (or at least, I only saw him upon looking closer xD )

I really love the way you put a lot of focus into your landscapes, while still adding in human figures! I love the deails in this, even with the broad strokes (like the paintings on the rocks! wonderful eye for it! ) you use to create your forms. I love the colors in this one as well. Really wonderful choices.

Oh I love how you've played with shadow vs. lighting vs. reflection lighting in this one! You've made it so alive I can almost feel the scorching heat from the cliffs and ground. Luuuvly!

Cloudedreign [2011-04-14 19:00:44 +0000 UTC]

I like how the all rocks and stone feel so angular. Yet neither your Miner/Cowboy or the flowers have that same feel. That contrast for me at least adds emphasis on those organic organisms in this painting

Love the high contrast but oh so tiny cowboy.

If you felt like dumping the part of your brain having to do with colour choice and colour knowledge onto a USB stick and selling it, I for one would appreciate it. Man, what a struggle.

My brain is a jumbled mess, so im afraid that wouldnt work.. but,

Probably the absolute best resource on the topic would be James Gurney's blog and book:
