I liked how the light hit the background mountains in an earlier painting "Out In The Cold" and wanted to base a painting around it. After trying out various compositions of an Islamic Summer Palace in the mountains of Central Asia I settled on a Star Wars related piece loosely set on the ice planet Hoth. Kept the colours fairly subtle based around a yellow/violet complementary with a bit of blue at the top to add a bit more variety of colour.
I have painted this early for my slot next month on Every Day Original as I will be away from the studio for the next three weeks.
Oil on linen 12" x 16".
There is a step-by-step progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
