Painting near millarville

Oil on board 9*12


Here is the original painting 9*12, I have used a lot alizarian Red with the blue that is why it is quite dark, proberly too dark

Here it is cropped to show more of the sky which I liked to paint, I wanted the best of both worlds and I got too much so I need to watch having too many points of interest. Lots of sky and ground. normally a sky painting has ground that will take up an 1/6 th of the size of painting and the rest sky. or if you can somehow get the ground to reach up to the sky plane then it would work.



And the finial crop which is a simple painting more on one side of the other, it works because it takes you back into the painting, so I have to be a little greyer, less punchy in the darks and not so bright colours.

This one feels like what I wanted to paint, it is a stronger composition and takes you into the painting and out again so the eye naturally flows around the painting.
