Bakersfield Hills No. 10

I began working on this one back in April and finally started working on it again after a several month slump. I'm trying to keep it more abstract than I have been lately. Sometimes I start out with abstract in mind but end up going more realistic. This one seems to be going more like I intended it to be. And I think I’m getting close to declaring it finished.

I tried something a little different with the top part of the sky. I copied the drawing and removed the landscape in the bottom third then added some texture to parts of the sky and reduced the opacity to 17%. I’m still playing around with it.
