I go back and forth when I look at this painting.
What am I supposed to look at?
What am I supposed to look at?
Is it a painting of a sunset or sunrise? a painting of a sun kissed landscape? skyscape of clouds? Is it okay that it's kind of all three?
I want to keep looking at it, so I think it's okay.
My Weekly-ish Challenge was "Clouds." That seemed easy enough... until it wasn't. Clouds? I live in the trees! I don't really see whole clouds! I looked and didn't have any good reference photos for clouds. Nothing on any of the free reference photo sites intrigued me. Then I remembered that I had an ancient painting book...
You can tell by the price tag! Woolworths... $2.95! It's from 1985, and it's still good!I picked one of the lessons, started there, then went off on my own.
*** Note to self... if using the word "ancient" when referring to 1985, remember that you got married that year... pick another word!

This is such a cool piece! I love to look at it. We won't talk about what's ancient, ahem.
ReplyDeleteThanks. As for the "ancient" book, I don't know if they even make how-to books anymore. There's YouTube for just about any how-to you'd need.
DeleteFor some reason I think it is a sunrise! Nicely done - almost as good as my thunderheads. :) I really like any book with "Clouds" in the title. I'm still as fascinated with them as I was as a kid. And ancient books are the best!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of your Thunderheads painting as I worked on this one!!!
