With skies like this you just want to get in your car and hit the open road. Windows Down with your favorite tunes and no destination. Road trip snacks a must.
I remembered to take a few more pictures of my progress of this painting. Although you can see where I got lost in concentration and forgot to take a picture till the end :D
Twilight is one of my most favorite times to paint. The colors are soft and saturated. Yummy!
This was yesterday's morning sky. I loved the drama of overcast sky leaving the area. The sun crested the edge like a mountain top. So cool, and it meant a sunny day was in store.
As we near the end of the year I like to highlight some of my favorites. We haven't had much snow yet but I am looking forward to painting more winter scenes.
Much larger than my usual 6x6 daily paintings. A standard size for easy framing. One of my favorite subjects to paint. These magnificent creatures were so beautiful in the shade of the trees and dappled sunlight. I worked and re-worked for quite a while all while trying to keep it fresh. The key to this is to wipe away areas to start fresh rather than painting layer over layer which can become muddy and dull.
