POINTS IN THIS POST

1.  Not overly concerned with realistic depiction in paintings, although it's a useful skill.  

2.   Color delivers emotional impact.

3.   Tone delivers form.

4.   Still working out the structure of painting.  [Is that composition?  Do I need another word?]

Question

Why only landscapes?

 

Notes on Between Earth and Sky

title:  Between Earth and Sky

Oil Paint on 12 by 12 inch Panel

Aug 2025

Notes

Increasingly using thin layers to build up images.  [Turpinoid.  Has a hazy effect different from linseed oil]

Not particularly concerned with perspective, or even realistic depiction.  Letting the mind fill in the blanks.

Limited pallet. Four colors, primaries and a white. Forces me to understand materials like paint.

More intuitive than planned.  

How many people actually see sky?
