In the Hall of the Mountain King

Had fun creating the impression of ancient architecture, and the idea that maybe once there was a great building there. The painting started out pretty abstract until I was happy with the composition. I then blocked out the general forms. I used some photo ref I had from a recent trip to Yosemite. Using the clone brush with opacity settings I threw some texture and color around....then I grabbed a little brush and rendered away haha :-)

Long lost...

Here is a little sketch I started a little while back and threw on the back burner for a bit. I just recently pulled it out and added a little polish for kicks, Hope you like it!
