More Pig Farmer BG's

Here's some more backgrounds from "The Pig Farmer". I'm about 25% through painting the bg's for the film. I've uploaded a selection here:
In this film, I'm trying for a few different moods expressed through lighting and colour.


More to follow soon!

Superb! I love the colours you use. Is this another Dave Cooper collaboration? Some of the textures have a bit of a Dave Cooper flava.

Thanks everybody!
@David Gale: No, I'm not working with Dave on this, but I guess after working with him on a couple projects, I think I may have picked up a couple of his tricks...

@A.Massenburg: I don't really know of any books on digital painting...really, it comes down to just doing it and learning by trial-and-error.

You had to be inspired by Wyeth's "Christine's World" for the top farm house bg. Beautiful work.
