did you by any chance refrence this off of a photograph by " Anwer Sher" and her photo "Estishama on the hill'
the link is huge to the picture, but I was just wondering. It is by all means your wor! It looks nothing like the photo, but it has the same idea from it, so im just curious.
Im not bashing you promis!
I am in love with this work!

Something about the feel of this painting when I look at it reminds me of some obscure and unpronounceable aura of my childhood.

Asside from that, beautiful piece. Just has such a strong feeling of something to me. Sorry to not be able to explain.

It's artwork like this that really makes me want to do better. The Arab if it is one is gorgeous and the sand blowing in the wind was probably a pain to do. Thanks for making such a wonderful piece of art. It's well appreciated.
