There is a simplicity to this painting. Often it is a struggle to enlarge a small painting ( see Westerly Clouds below) to a larger format, but this went smoothly; it flowed easily. I wish the photo was better, the lower part of the sky is quite lavender in colour, but I am not sure that is coming through. In person, the distant strip of canola pops against that purple in the low horizon. Colour is fun that way.

It was a long day at the studio yesterday- in a good way. I was so happy after I painted this little board that I immediately reinvented it on a 30 x 30 canvas! I painted until the very last second possible before heading home to meet my kids after school which meant I left my brushes soaking and I will have to clean up today. I will have to evaluate where it needs to go next, but for now, in my mind's eye, I am feeling really good about what I left sitting on the easel.
