Sunny Day in K Country


Oil on Board 8*10

I needed to paint today, it stopped raining, I was starting to go barmy, stuffed inside, I did make some boards and started on my little light box to photograph paintings inside so I don't get flashing.

This is a new type of board I am using, It is gessoed once then it is coated with an acrylic coat, the paint goes on real smooth.

There was a lot of run off today, some rivers were pretty swollen and to get to place that I wanted to paint I had to put me wellies on and go through boggy waters, lots of cow poop too. I saw some wild horses, that was cool.

I have been reading up on clouds as well, I really like them and I am in a way three dimensionally inclined an I think it went a little over board with my previous clouds, looking like candy floss stuck on.
I looked at a painters work who has taught many a great painter, Michael Lynch
He does some interesting work.
