Has changed a familiar view, that I hadn’t painted before, into something much more compelling. There is enough subject matter on my doorstep and what makes it is the light. This painting has a cinematic level of drama in the sky but curiously enough the landscape below is not flooded by it. In the photo it is quite subdued, its not the effect I am after so I will have to tune it up. Painting is going well, as a start.
