New landscape commission

For the last month I have been labouring over a new landscape that is finally ready to be mounted. Its been a slow process (as ever), partly because I've been learning how compose the picture within the parallel virtual world that is photoshop. Basically I have worked out how to mimick what I have previously done with paper and a scalpel, knowing that if I could master the technique it would open up many more possibilities in terms of picture construction and printing. And somewhere along the line it has all come together, and I'm pretty excited about the next series of landscapes which I'm already working on.
