This is the third image I’ve painted from more or less this spot. One was looking the other direction over the paddock where some sheep were grazing. The other was a pretty much the same aspect on another overcast day. In this I am using a smaller format and the sky is more uniform with way less detail in the foreground.
This was part of a series of smaller experimental works which use a more detailed blockout and less time on detailing the foreground. The detail layer was basically the well defined trees and a little touching up of the foreground and playing with the clouds just above the treeline.
Painted in late May 2024 in oil on a 12″x9″ artist’s board. On sale at Sutton Village Gallery as part of my “Beyond the Front Gate” exhibition (opens 26th October 1pm).
