I was itching to try some different lighting than my usual fare (I even worked with a new palette, although Pthalo Turquoise just had to stay). I've also been pining for the desert, so a playa-themed painting just seemed like the appropriate setting for such an exercise.

Working on this made me feel so happy, because I got to stare at dozens of photos of the playa, and kept thinking back on all the absolutely beautiful and otherworldly experiences I have had there with my friends <3 Yay feels.

Enjoy your freshly delivered giant fennec ears!
