The picture below is not that of a painting.
It was taken inside the Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia, in a strange and alien landscape called Dead Vlei.
Although sounds similar to dead valley, Dead Vlei is not an actually valley.
Some 900 years ago the river diverted its course, leaving Dead Vlei literally high and dry.
The trees died, as there no longer was enough water to survive.
Though not petrified, the wood does not decompose because it is so dry.
It looks blue because it reflects the color of the sky above.
I used a long telephoto lens and stopped it all the way down to compress the perspective.
