Landscape series, 2nd post

I've managed to get the fourth piece in my series started. As of yet no name decided but its of dark bushland with a fire nearby. The idea for this piece came from a sketch I did of some bushland but it was around the time of Black Saturday last summer when the terrible fires happened in Victoria.

The other pieces have progressed a lot too. The structure of my sunrise is well mapped out.
I love using velvet in my work cause it has such richness. You can't get blacker than a black silk velvet, it just has so much depth. But I've recently got some silk / rayon velvet and some new fabric dyes / paints and I've been experimenting with adding colour and brush strokes into the velvet. I've used it in my on going obsession with palm trees in the moonlight night piece. Needs a lot more work done on it but the base is there.

So this is the series so far. I'll keep them in order, with the newest at the end.
