I usually work in our gallery on Sundays but took yesterday off.
I wanted to savour it and anticipated an all day outdoor painting excursion.
Of course the weather did not exactly cooperate -the sun was
taking a holiday and rain was forecast. I decided to go out anyway and it did
rain intermittently but I just waited it out and resumed work when it cleared.
It was worth it because I could really observe and become engaged with the
sky's changing light and atmospheric effect on the land.
August (between), Niagara escarpment, plein air, oil/cold wax on canvas, 11x14in, 2012, available
This is the first canvas of the day and I will post the
others later.
It does look like you've captured a windswept sky in this one and that pop of red adds to the vitality of the painting.
