A Series! Seriously!

Thought I was done with spacious skies for now.  But, no.

Had yet another sky clamoring for self-expression.

Went in and out of flow as I painted.

In flow:  got bolder with color, more generous with paint; let undertones show through.

Out of flow:  got fussy, went back in a few times when I knew better.

I didn't set out to do a series.  But, guess what:  a series!

Painting skies again and again—so much to experience, so much to learn.

Painted my spacious skies almost entirely from internal landscapes rather than external visual references. New for me. Exciting!

Beautiful ... I love the surprise strip of dunes/path/breaking waves at the bottom.

Thanks! Fun to have you take note of and applaud the supporting players in the painting.
