Paint Party Friday - The Desert

Welcome to another Paint Party Friday! Please stop by the others afterward to see what they did this week!

I was inspired by a photo of the Mongolian Desert that I saw in the travel section of the newspaper. I simplified it quite a bit and did a monochromatic background.   It's an acrylic ACEO.

Always enjoy your artwork :) Love the color scheme and the solitary camel ~ Happy PPF!

Very nice. I like the composition here a lot -- I think you could definitely make a larger size painting with this same scheme at it would be nice.

ACEOs are difficult for me so I really appreciate artists who are able to pull this off. Your desert scene is lovely. The background colors are just gorgeous.

Oh, I would love to see the Mongolian desert! And a Yurt! I want to sleep in a Yurt!

I had forgotten all about this until I saw your camel in the desert. Maybe we'll bump into each other there.

Beautiful image, you have a wonderful ability to simplify a picture, yet have it remain complex and readable, well done.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment, it brighten my day.

Happy PPF. xx
