"But see the fading many-coloured Woods,
Shade deep'ning over shade, the country round
Imbrown; crowned umbrage, dusk and dun,
Of every hue from wan declining green
To sooty dark." ~James Thomson

Incredible piece!

I am astounded at how you captured the light at dusk so perfectly. It reminds me of late autumn, early winter, just before the first snows. This is wonderful!

I appreciate the lack of a figure in this - there aren't enough landscape alone pieces. And lovely as well of course :3

I resisted the urge to put in a figure... it diminished the moodiness. But it felt SO weird for me, because I think I haven't had a straightforward landscape in years!

If you like landscape art, check out the amazing stuff of Tor Lundvall. Less moody but quite enchanting are also the works of Thomas McKnight.

I don't like to have my art copied Thanks for asking permission, I appreciate it. Why not take a photo of a landscape, then use the colours or mood or sketchiness or whatever inspired you in this piece, to make one of your own from scratch?

This looks like a beginning to a particularly morbid fairy tale. Lovely.

I love how rusty and dusky it looks, almost synthetic
