The night I painted this picture I was filled with the desire to go and experience the silence of the desert myself, of which I have read so much. I did not manage to go there yet, but I have managed to paint what I hope to see then. It was the first time I used my copper-coloured texture paste. It is perfect for the desert, because in warm light the dunes look copper-coloured and in bright daylight they look almost golden. Also, the texture paste makes the dunes look very lively. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I do.
