Some of the biggest recorded clouds have been found in Northumberland. Some of them are over 1000 years old. We have some of them on the edge of our village and they sleep in the valley. The photo I have used for this painting is quite impressive. The clouds recede in banks of different colours. It is a sunset shot and all the warmth is in the sky, the land is in shadow and quite cool. This is the effect I want to get in the painting. Maybe the last of 2025?
Big clouds, sun setting. Day 1
