I don’t often turn my paintings into a colourful slurry, its not quite Kossoff like but has the appearance of being worked, which is no bad thing. I am glad I went against sticking to the photo re the sky, it just goes to show, nature can be improved upon!, that’s always the aim with painting but its never easy. It seems to me I like the expansive landscape. I think because it gives me the most freedom to explore space and how the light falls across the land. These elevated views also help with that, the painting is finished.
