The white shirt and black hair and pants really contrasts the other earth tones and brings it to life. Great work.

Thanks! Sadly this doesn't do the landscape justice. I live in the Alentejo in Portugal, I followed a public path for about 25 km and then turned back (so close to 50 km in total, about 4 hours of cycling), most of it was huge rolling hills with occasional villas, I even brought some gouache stuff so I could paint something while out there but I knew that trying to paint the beauty would corrupt the experience somehow so I just tried to create a mental painting of it in my head and saved it for later. This is basically that mental image, although I feel like trying again in the future to make it better!
