They say when painting landscapes you should paint figures to change your perspective, and vice versa. It gives a fresh view. I'm sure you're experiencing that same effect, this landscape is beautiful! I've watched demos in person from Hollis (I'm from CT), he's immensely talented! As are you!
That contrast btwn the figure and the landscape is interesting, let's examine it more and try to understand why one influences the other in such satisfying ways. The intense concentration on the figure helps see much more in the landscape than would have been possible otherwise?
