A Hat of Cloud and Sky





That Mother Earth is such a diva!  A different hat for every day...sometimes two or three on the same day.  She's got the somber and moody gray, the clear blue that everyone loves and drop dead gorgeous rainbow one full of pink, orange and purple.  So I've been looking at, drawing and painting landscapes these past few days.  I couldn't seem to come up with an idea for an image so I went with the simplest...paint a line near the bottom of a panel and suddenly you have realms.  Earth and sky or sky and sea...the possibilities are endless!  I really enjoyed creating these small landscapes and found that once the base colors were painted they each took on a very different and distinct character. Each one called out for a little something extra which took a bit of experimenting but I think they feel pretty balanced???
