Mountains in Kerry

Here is my latest interpretation of this lovely scenery! Much more realistic than my previous attempts. I moved the rocks around and I gave the 4 mountains in the back more prominence. And I think I managed to create convincing grasses.

The only thing I'd change here would be to move the big rock further up the picture slightly so it overlaps the rusty background. That way, it would stand out better. I'm not sure if I'll have the patience to paint this scene again, though. (There is an intermediary version that's too ugly to display here. Suffice to say that I very nearly lost heart with that one - I had used the wrong colours. Here I used a middle orange and cerulean blue as my main hues).
