First, this one from Parrsboro is finally done. Man, I lifted and lowered those big dark clouds, I lightened and darkened them, I made the water more blue, more yellow, more pink, more gray, I made the cliffs taller, shorter, wider, greener, bluer, I made the orange sky brighter, duller, yellower and pinker - BUT I think I finally got it. For better or for worse.
This, more abstract, seascape is one I'd wanted to do for a long time - sometimes in the fog, the land masses are just hinted at. The water and the sky are so close in color and value - it seems the whole world just melts together. This on is 9x12, painted over an old non-working painting.

The abstract is really interesting...are you going to frame it or leave it raw edged?
Wow, these sky paintings are really wonderful! I love the water in the most recent one.
So a question... is a non-working painting one that is "unemployed"? sorry, I couldn't resist...
I really like how you have achieved the calm after a passing storm. Great clouds.
Funny, Don! Coming from you I am enjoying the compliment!
Thanks, Pat... I'm happy you stopped by!
Gee, Kelley, these are just gorgeous! What beautitul, breathtaking skies. I'm reminded, of Dalia Alekna, my friend, and also a wonderful artist, at lafayettegallery.net. If you have a chance,please take a look. She does beautiful skies, that remind me of yours!
Ok, I think I'm going to find a way to paint over some of these 'dogs'.
I think the Parrsboro sunset is rockin'. I liked it the first time, too.
