Oil painting: Day 2

I got up early today and continued my painting. I want to capture the heat of Jaisalmer in this painting, because it's bleeding hot, lying as it does in the middle of the Thar Desert. I want to recreate the heat rising of the cobbled streets. Anyway here it is after 2 more hours:

It was at this point I realised I should have probably painted the sky first. I seem to do this every painting without learning from past. Next time! I think I like doing the fun bits first and I was listening to Sparks. They're not a sky kind of band.

So here it is at the end of the day. I'd say this is about 7 hours more work in total; getting there...
