World Inspired Landscapes: Cuba version ii

Cuba has some amazing mountains in hidden away in a valley called the Viñales Valley. Tobacco farmers have worked the land there for a long time. As seen in the painting there are A frame tobacco drying sheds and small farm houses in amongst the oddly shaped mountains. Erosion of the limestone seems to cause this natural phenomenon. In the previous blog I wrote some more about it, and had an earlier version of the painting. In this version I re-composed the foreground elements, sharpened up the rolling fog clouds, and crafted the trees and buildings to fit the scene.
