So... that's a river in the background? Initially I was thinking it looked more like a path of sorts, or a riverbed, but the more I look at it... the more like a river it does look. I guess the 'bridge' of brown (I assume that's a shadow) somehow barrs the water a bit, makes it seem - at least at a first glance - like two separate formations. The brushy surface texture doesn't always seem the most watery, but the streams and bright colors do. A nice portrait, even if the style makes it feel a bit rushed.
