A hedland Sunset

This landscape painting is based on photo taken from my dashcam, while driving around in Port Hedland - Northwest Australia (2012). It shows an amazing summer sunset, with in the background massive iron ore loaders in the seaport of Hedland. Like it's a scene from War of the Worlds. An unreal contrast between fragile nature and the extreme industrial machinery used in one of oldest landscapes on this planet. I first made my underpainting in acrylic and Gesso. This to create a perfect, solid texture for the following layers. Then I started working on multiple layers of a combination of thick and thin traits of acrylic. Then finished with a slightly glossy varnish.
