Gala Apple Study with Oil on 12″ x 9″ Panel

Wondering Skies 1: 14″ x 12″ Oil on Panel
This painting is a part of the new series I am starting dedicated to skies, particularly clouds. I wanted an looser expressionistic feel to this paintings.
Since I was a child, I was always fascinated by the shapes and colors in clouds. I tend to view each cloud as I do a still life, each with its own features and characteristics. I started this one by painting the background colors, transitioning from dark to light. I then blocked in the clouds with a darker mix of alizarin crimson, ultra marine blue, and titanium white. I then proceeded to add the brighter and warmer colors slowly.
