Once you’ve made this decision you have left reality behind and so your journey into the unknown begins. Often I turn the tonal values on their heads so white clouds become darker than the sky behind them. Sometimes instinct, sometimes more random and the whole thing seems like spinning plates trying to make a painting that has its own reality and works spatially, the forms are fully realized and the mood of the painting is as you intend it to be. I feel I am on the right track with this painting despite the green sky and orange and red clouds.
