Warmth

6.5x6.5in. oil on cradled wood panel - available soon

I am pleased to announce that this painting is finished. I went through a lot while making this painting, including a lot of wiping off progress. I think that's why it took me so long to finish it, it was so intimidating and it often won against my attempts. While working on this painting, I learned a lot and made myself proud - hard work often rewards a good feeling. Other than my Batman painting I don't think I spent this long on a painting before - in fact, it took me months to complete. I took this reference photo when my fiancé and I came home from our trip where we got engaged and I remember the clouds looking so warm and inviting, almost like "renaissance painting" clouds. Many more cloudscapes are in my future for sure.
