The first photo is how it was (it looks better in this picture than it did in real life). The photo is greatly reduced in size from approx. 24 x 36".
The next two images are what I did yesterday. I will continue on, adding excitement to this piece. It may end up in the dumpster (better yet, covered in gesso and repainted something else to save the canvas) or I may end up falling in love with it. Either way, I am going to have fun, create and make (at least) my day! :)
First I added yellows to the sky. I also added some cobalt blue. The point is to create. Do what feels good to you with your brush and paints. If something isn't working for you, try something else. Don't be afraid to start over. Starting over is not the end of the world, it could be the start of something exciting!
Here fluffy happy clouds are forming. I often envision God painting the skies with a gigantic paintbrush and having fun doing it... though we often are too busy to stop and appreciate the beauty of it all. Every day, a new sky, a new canvas. Lucky.
OK... back to painting.
The finished piece.
