Afternoon Clouds Oil 24 x 36
This is a piece I just completed for M Gallery of Fine Art in Sarasota. I posted the study for this piece a while back (ok, it took me too long to get this finished!) I am generally pleased with it. There is a quality of light I was after - its partly the feeling of glare you get on bright days in Florida but also that sense of distance and atmosphere created by layers of moist air - I wanted the viewer to have an experience of that- like you could walk in and put your sun glasses on! I don't know if you can feel that in this image but I think it does come through in the painting.

looks great, Debora. By the way, do you have any advice for how to approach painting a large studio work from plein air studies? A post dedicated to that topic would be welcomed, as I know it is something many other plein air artists struggle with.
Hi Ed. Actually, I taught a couple of workshops on that topic so I could certainly incorporate that into a post. I have had a few emails from folks asking about painting from memory & imagination, so that's another one. Good suggestion and thanks for stopping by!
Fantastic Deborah. Great sense of drama and space. Really puts the viewer in place.
Thanks Cooper!
