New Friends - stage 1

Probably the last in this series of spaceships and clouds, "New Friends" has a spacecraft from another world floating hidden in the clouds above a typical landscape of small towns and farmland at dusk as the streetlights are coming on. Yes the same scenario of us living our little lives below while above us floats something in the sky that will change everything when our civilisations finally meet...although they might decide on a watching brief instead as we destroy ourselves and the planet we live on. Maybe we're too naive and dangerous to deal with directly, maybe they don't trust us let alone us trusting them which would be highly unlikely...maybe it's best if they keep their distance for both parties...
This stage was "drawn" up the usual way with a small bristle brush using a mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin and then the same mix was applied with a rag for the tonal underpainting, a rag dipped in clean turpentine was used to erase highlights.
