As a person who typically focuses his art around portraiture, this landscape piece was challenging for me. Portraits are very organic and free form. However, landscapes are entirely different. Skylines, composed of buildings and industrial monuments, are especially geometric and structured. However, I was able to utilize my background in portraiture to integrate organic shapes in the trees and the clouds, uniting what I am familiar with the unfamiliar.
