Afternoon Cloudburst

Recently completed, Afternoon Cloudburst, oil, 30" x 40", is an example of how I am working toward a more minimalist approach to my sky-themed landscape paintings. The location  is nowhere in particular. Therefore, attention is focused without distraction on the drama playing out in the sky. The ground, although subordinate, holds its own with a dramatic play of light and cast shadow. Overall, I feel the painting has an almost meditative quality to it.

Raindrop Road

Here is another painting I had ready for the gallery, but the pandemic has shut everything done. Raindrop Road, oil, 40" x 30" was recently completed.  I was striving for a sense of monumentality and distance in the sky by minimizing the value and color contrasts between sky and clouds.
