Surreal Landscape

This landscape started out using simple brush strokes with a 1 inch bristle flat working wet in wet followed by a 3/8" angular and #6 Round.  With no idea or reference to work from, I just played allowing the scene to develop on its own. 

To me the ending results has this dreamy or surrealistic feel to it.  Probably due to the wet in wet soft edges and simple brush strokes suggesting most of the landscape elements. 

Painted on Fabriano Artistico 140lb Cold Press paper using Daniel Smith pigments - Fr Ultramarine, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, and a touch of Sap Green.
