Like your use of impasto an bold shapes. Certainly portrays heat Sylvia.

I'll say it is!!

Well Sylvia… once we read where it is, it makes it easier to understand the landscape and palette! Interesting and bold, I believe it could be reworked a little in places… but I always say the same about my own work when I look back at it!

Thank you for kind comments ,yes Alan I see where you are coming from. I have painted several pictures from Namibia this one probably the wildest. Interesting to find it again.

Tell, me about it. I have never been to such a dry place before! You dare not lick your lips or your tongue would dry out! This certainly says hot!

Re found this in the back of my shed ,done some ten years ago. Inspired by the Namib desert . On a trip with Art Safari. Acrylic on box canvas . 70cmx20 cm. Very much a resurrection. One of those you are not sure about...hence being buried in my shed.
