I know, I know...my original plan was to paint one of these a week. Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans......
Anyway, way back when I was co-supervising the Background Painting Dept. on The Prince of Egypt with Ron Lukas, we brought the entire department on a sketching trip to Death Valley. Three days of painting in the desert. For some reason I can't seem to find any of my paintings from that trip. Hmm...
We also shot lots of photo reference. This sketch is based on one of my photos.
