Hi Annie, no it is from a photo a download from the internet.  I don't know if that is legal, but I am living in the Namib Desert and here is not much to paint except sand dunes and some wildlife (oryx and jackels).  It’s nice living here, because it is very quiet and peaceful and very remote from other towns, but from an artist point of view, sadly here is not much to paint.  But I do go from time to time to places, taking photographs and painting plein air, but that is far in between.  We do live near the Fish river Canyon and I am going there in 2 weeks’ time to paint.  Richard's previous assignment (that I didn't do) as well as this one, inspire me to go there.

Thanks Patricia.  I finally got it right.  Took me some time to figure that out, because I keep pressing the "Print Screen" button and nothing happened.  Silly me!  I am learning some computer skills as well!

I like your painting.  In particular the use of the green hue and also it's application in the aerial perspective dimension.  Well done!!
