I thought the photo of this painting was really washed out until I tilted my computer screen farther back and discovered that the photo is true to life. I was not thrilled with it's stripyness (o.k., not a word) but loved, loved, loved the wash of blue over nickel azo gold in the rain showers. I was unhappy about the large yellow, green shape until I expanded it and painted out some of the purple shape, washed the nickel over the upper part and now it's a coherent painting. Fancy that.
I took this photo this summer on our drive back home through the west. The sky is immense in the west because there are no trees to obscure vision and one can see forever. Some times I miss the wild, wild west.
Naturally I really like this one!
