I know. Too much sky. I was working on clouds further up, but they bombed. So I washed over it. You can see a hint of the jagged shapes if you go looking for them. Before the wash dried, I took a tissue to the wet and created soft, almost invisible cloud shapes. The shapes were more pronounced while the paint was wet. But I am happy with them.
I had in mind the first painting I did like these. That was in a 2016 painting challenged. WOW! Doesn’t feel that long ago. It is one of my favorites. It was loose and abstracted. I keep trying to get back to that. And I keep failing. LOL 🙂
It started raining while I was working. That influenced the colors, and I think helped loosen it up a bit. Before I splattered paint, I splattered water. I knew the paint would flow when it hit the wet areas.
Tried it as a 4 x 6 postcard. It may work better with less sky. What do you think?
I love the big sky and I love the postcard format. This one’s a winner
Thank you, Sea, so glad you like it 🙂
There isn’t anything wrong with a good sky! I like the full painting as the cut down version puts the top of the flowers right at the halfway point. Nice work Sheila
True Val. :o) Thank you 🙂
Day 8: success! That huge open sky, with its cloud hints and wisps and almost invisibles, offering a soft world in which those purple butterflies can migrate and under which they can touch down in grasses for hints and wisps of barely perceptible rest stops. I love the scribbly tangles of filaments running through the grasses!
Love your description Dotty 🙂 Thank you 🙂
Beautiful, Sheila! I usually would say too much sky, as you know, but your the graduations of blue becoming darker as they go upward lead my eye upward from the flowers and feel the expansion, the opening of sky, and that’s a great feeling!
LOL 🙂 I considered that Laurelle. But then I told myself I was making lemonade out of a lemon. LOL 🙂 Glad you like it 🙂 And yes, I had you in mind 😉 LOL.
