Guldenstadt's Redstart at Muktinath

Guldenstadt's Redstart at Muktinath, Nepal, November 2008. Mixed media, 37x28cm.
When I saw this scene, I knew it just had to be painted: the extreme colours of the sun behind the mountains, the prayer flags flapping in the wind and this stunning redstart all made for a good picture and composition.  Note the sacred sprig of juniper bound onto the flagpole.  All the flags have Tibetan buddhist inscriptions on, although they bleach in time with the extreme sunshine, and are blasted by duststorms that rage every afternoon.
