This is the second of this similar background I have painted. Once the paint dries I am going to (attempt) to add some Tiki statues in the foreground. This will be for a friend of mine whose living room is in Tiki theme. The first version I did of this was for my uncle, because when he saw the painting I did for my dad, he asked for one for himself, with elephants. I didn't quite know how to tell him I was just starting out and following along with Bob Ross, so I was only comfortable with simple landscapes. I found something similar to this on Pinterest though, and it looked pretty simple (it is) so I decided to give it a go. Good practice for mixing sunset colors, and creating depth with the hills. My friend who this painting is going to like teal... so that's going to be a fun one to try to mix when I add the Tiki guy with my collection of Bob Ross paints. This was also my first attempt at a palm tree, though I wasn't really sure that's what I was going for when I started out. Happy Little Accident!
Sadly, I am a couple hours away from the coast. My scenery is mostly agriculture (almond orchards, vineyards, sweet potato fields). And it is very flat.

This reminds me so much of MHK's work. He also lives in California!
