Contest Week 51: This Land is My Land *Two week contest

Your goal these next 2 weeks is to paint your dream landscape. This landscape can be anything you want, it can be a place that already exists or it can be completely from your imagination, it can be completely surreal or a cup (a cup? yes, a cup!), it's totally up to you. I'm going to judge this contest mainly on creativity and style, try to focus on those qualities. Good luck and please do not copy other artists work.

Here are some original landscape paintings to help fuel your imagination:

Woow, the first one is amazing!
I like this contest. :)

Roytje: I agree, that is such a cool a painting. It was painted by the very skilled artist MARS-1. His work defines trippy.

drawing my dream landscape is what I'm already doing this very moment in painter XP
But since it's not like I don't have a ton of these ideas I've been meaning to make, I can easily make something for this too...

blah changed my mind, you don't get to see it yet~

That's a great site/ gallery, Kloxboy. I never heard of him before, but he's briliant.

Oh shit I have so many fantasy lands, wohoo! Great idea.

*Updated: Thanks to all who participated! :)
