Outback painting of farmer with drought-parched landscape, Australia

In this acrylic rendition I pictured an outback farmer standing at the gate of his drought-stricken property.
 I used a limited palette of earthy oranges, reds, with black highlights.
I used a red tone on the farmer's shirt because I was attempting to have a warm colour in the foreground which would make it stand out more.
The dirt track leads the eye up to the house and windmill in the distance.
