Cloudy sky

Oil on Board 8*10

I saw these clouds on the way home and they looked really good we had just has a sugar rush so I had to work it off.
I haven't had success with clouds I normally avoid them, because they are elusive, that means I have to paint them, so that I don't avoid things that are hard, I tend to do that.
I also learned that you have to squint to see if you have the values and colours right, to not only squint at the landscape, but also at your painting to make sure it is cohesive.

Golden Fields

Oil on board 6*8

This was a warm up piece I knew that there was a painting here that I had to do, So I poked around till I found something.
I had the family with me in the van, so I was hoping that they would be still and quiet as sound carried really far out there. We saw a lot deer Bouncing on all fours, a bit like four legged Kangaroos
When I had finished the painting we went to Nanton and visited the Sweet store there where they have a ton of sweets we haven't seen before like the German Mentos that are Lemon Yogurt oohh tasty.

Backroad 594

Oil on Panel 10*12

I tried something different, I went out in the foothills to see what I could see, and I found this place plus some pick your own Fruit places I can go with the family this Summer and an interesting Gardening store.
I like exploring and finding new places.

Coalhill road

Oil on Panel 8*10

I have painted here a few times before when I first started painting and it is interesting to see how much my work has progressed, I am a lot freer or confident with my strokes and I have a more contrast in the darks and lights.
