#nonorthvember Day 9 - Desert

WOHOO! We're almost finished with the first 1/3 of the challenge!!

Today was my favourite day to paint so far! Still talking about the love for songs, Horse With No Name by America is one of my all time favourites. I remember it took me nearly a year to find the name of this song when I was 11, but when I did, I was so ecstatic I couldn't stop listening to it and ended up painting my ultimate masterpiece while listening to it for like 9 hours straight.

There's something about being all by yourself in the great outdoors which I absolutely love. Something about being able to forget your own name, and what better location for this feeling than a desert!

This piece was inspired by the majestic art of Mark Maggiori (cowboys and huge clouds?? SIGN ME UP) check out his work if you haven't seen it yet!!

Anyway, I painted this after a hike I took - 18km uphill - under 37ºC burning sunlight at a very dry region. I thought I'd pass out and it felt so awesome I was fuelled up and so inspired to paint again, haha!

I would absolutely LOVE to hear your thoughts on this piece!!

More entries will be available on my Stories, don't forget to check it out <3

Thank you all for your EPIC support!!!
