Media: pastel
Size: 5x7 in
There are times, maybe not often, that I really like a simple, peaceful sky. With all of the recent storms, combined with the stress of the semester ending, a calm, simple sky looks very appealing and somehow restful right now.
This painting came out of a challenge in class to do a quick study (about 15 min.) of a simple sky with no clouds. This may sound easy but I love painting clouds, and my reference photo really looks nothing like this scene. I quickly realized that the land had to be far more interesting than in the photo so I added spring colors and I cheated a bit and put a few streaky clouds low in the sky. Hope your skies are peaceful. Happy Weekend!
