Hey Jeremy! Thanks a ton man, I'm really glad you like my work. That really is a great trail to hike. You know of any other good ones I should check out in the area? Thanks again Jeremy!

This painting was created using a lot of hand painting and numerous different photo ref images, but here is the largest single source image used... the sky that I started with.
If you'd like to see a full resolution version of this painting, you can see it on my webpage under the matte painting section! Thanks everyone for taking the time to check out my work! Cheers!
Damn, that island is cool. Is your turnaround as quick as I'm thinking it is? You have a knack for natural landscapes. Definitely inspired me. I've been walking around all day snapping reference.
Thank you miragenz, Scharb, Jadrien, and Jeremy for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I'm glad to hear you all liked my new painting.
Jeremy, the turn around was about 16 hours... one hour each day for two weeks. So it really helped having some time off in-between each day, let me come back to it with "fresh" eyes. And thanks for the link, and the Mt. Wilson hike recommendation! Once my work load lets up a bit, I'll be sure to check it out.
Thanks again everyone! Cheers!

I've been extremely busy the past few months finishing up two new films... and felt the need to paint something for myself today. There is a higher resolution version you can check out on my webpage in the matte painting section. www.matgilson.com
Thanks for checking out my painting! Cheers!
Here's the "plate" I started with.
