"Storm Clouds at Dawn"

oil on canvas

12" x 12"

Above is my latest cloudscape painting. I wanted to do a simple cropped view of these storm clouds that would give the painting an abstract feel. Or at least I started out thinking that it was simple. After three tries, I finally got the colors and texture that I was after. I'll euphemistically refer to the first two tries as underpaintings...

Meanwhile, on the drawing board, I'm close to finishing a larger graphite still life. I'll post that one later this week.
