I've been working on skies and ways to approach clouds and horizons etc. and I think I'm really starting to make progress in understanding a way to paint them with more depth and realism.

Today I finished a sky in one of me small paintings that was quite involved and intricate - It's wet and I also don't want to post it until the rest of the painting is past the ugly stage but I really think I'm on to something.

 

Well I've been progressing with my art. Enjoying the process.

Marketing it is slower but I'm to be in a 3 person show in Novemeber at Ben Navaee Gallery and I'll have another show at my studio as well.

I've been setting up my work in prints http://www.artistrising.com/galleries/Lucinda_Knowlton

 

Well I've been debating about this painting and whether I should add more light green highlights to the foreground bush. Ahh the trials and tribulations.... lol

 

Today was a rather quiet day at the studio. I worked on  a greyscale landscape of a sunrise in oils. I love painting and find myself in a peaceful state almost every time I'm at my easel. I'm so focused that hours go by and when I look at my watch it truly amazes me that a day has gone by.  Each new painting I try to incorporate the new tidbits of observations, stuff I've learned about colour, perspecitive, tones , creating form... all the things that create art. The effects of light and how it  impacts everything is a wonder to me and I do hope  that I never tire or stop learning to translate what I see and feel into art.
