My piece is based on, both, my love for the southwest and for my love of natural beauty. My intent was to make it look like the fields of Prescott with some rock formations of Sedona. Although it did not turn out as good as I was wanting it to. I really enjoy looking at landscapes like that so I wanted to combine 2 of my favorite views.I decided to use oil pastels for my piece, because I like oil paintings, so this was as close I can get to that I think. The landscapes inspired my artwork a lot, but also a very good friend of mine who is also in many ways my role-model and is also an artist: Rygh Westby. I did not reach my goal but I think that I did get better. One thing that I learned during the making of this piece is that depth is quite hard to achieve and that I need to take into consideration distances and shadows. I think that I will one day be trying to make a better version of this piece.
