I started this painting on a large canvas – roughly 40 x 48″. I was inspired by a cold drive along Highway 2 and the sky colour and cloud patterns were pretty ‘exciting’. After I was 3/4 done I decided I wasn’t digging the large expanse of sky. I tried scraping, repainting and then put it aside. There is always an ugly phase, but this was tooo much.
A month or two later… fresh eyes … I liked the ground and low clouds much more. Out came the jigsaw and sander and I chopped off the top half, and repainted some portions. I was much happier with it!
