The reference for this picture was a video I shot while on a mountain-bike ride in Santa Cruz on a business trip. I like the way the colors of the sky came together - I learned to keep laying the colors on top of each other until the wouldn't blend any more (you end up with a smooth waxy finish that I really like). I like the shape of the figure. I didn't like how the edge's turn out kind of rough when you're working on fine detail.
