Superb background. Everything looks crisp and believable.

Some people Neville Longbottom at a certain point in their life, but you just Bob Ross'd, my friend. Awesome painting!

Should've also mentioned it's not a burrito lol, it's a bone and it was painted for display in a college. Porcupines and other rodents chew on bones for the nutrients.

Edit - I just wanted to post the painting but I had no idea this would get so popular, wow! Anyway I graduated as a biology major actually, not an art major, and this was part of an independent project articulating skeletons. Here's a picture of the skeleton I did with the painting "fleshing" it out: http://imgur.com/a/GMCdG

There were 5 total skeletons and accompanying paintings, they're all posted on my tumblr here: verdantbones.tumblr.com to make it easier. They were not killed for that of course, most were roadkill or found dead and brought to the college.
