From the thumbnail I at first thought this was a slightly grainy photo. Was this painted from a reference of some kind, or made up on the spot? It reminds me a lot of the hills and mountains around my dad's hometown in VesterΓ₯len, Nordland fylke, northern Norway. I've been there twice, in mid-summer and late summer/early autumn, and when the Sun sets the mountains get this orange-ish glow to them, very much like what you've painted here. I don't know what your personal definition of "speedpaint" is (for me it would be anything I finished in less than a week, haha), so I have no idea how quickly you were pushing through it, but the scribbly quality of frenzied brushstrokes adds that perfect texture to a raggedy mountain ridge. I can feel the rocks under my feet just looking at this.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a long comment, and I'm glad you like the piece.
I used a reference photo that I bought, and it is of a place in Iceland. So you're not that far off, as the landscapes of Norway and Iceland are fairly similar in places.
And this one took me maybe an hour and a half or so? I did the five I posts all within two days, didn't really look at the time, but if it had taken longer than that I'd not have done it, because landscapes are the bane of my existence. LOL
