A dramatic new painting in the studio. I have been working on this piece along with two others for a while. They have been evolving together in intriguing ways.
All three of these paintings are on aluminum panels that have been primed and prepared for painting. I have used various brands off and on, need more of these!
Painting atmosphere and light is always a huge focus in my work. This new painting has a great bit of mood. Really nice size board to paint on as well.
Final photograph of this painting that has sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. One of sixteen fairly large works on display with my solo show through September 6th.
I have plans to do more epic cloudscapes, hopefully some huge ones! I follow my enthusiasms so we shall see.
I have been working on very moody paintings. It is the kind of work I love.
To mix things up I thought I would try to capture the brilliance of some of our recent sunsets. They seem especially dramatic after a gloomy day. The clouds lifting to an explosion of light.
