"The ship, if it was a ship, had soft landed in the deep desert of Molossus, but all who saw it could not say whether it was digging itself into the ground, or digging its way out." -Excerpt from the journal of explorer Idalgo Cortel.

Done using Painter IX. I began this painting by experimenting with Painter's palette knife brushes, and just let the forms and shapes evolve as the painting progressed. Total working time 8 hours 10 minutes. Comments welcome.
