From calm to stormy

So this is the picture that I decided to change a bit last night. It has gone through so many transformations and I am just not happy with some of it. The sky is too blah (for want of a better word) and I have already started to blot out the fence posts.


This is the first time I have been able to paint since my hand operation and I really couldn't wait to get started.

I started to lay a base down for some dramatic clouds although this isn't very easy to photograph in artificial light. I needed to walk away from it as if I don't do that I am not always able to see what needs to be changed. Sometimes I hold the picture up to a mirror and look at the reflection as I find seeing it from another angle helps.

Ideally I need to work on other paintings at the same time to use up the paint and to keep me going when I am in the painting groove.

Below are some close ups of the canvas.

I love the texture in the beach.I went back to it before I went to bed and it's looking different again. I had lots of fun and look forward to carrying on with it later.

Happy Wednesday to you all ! x
