It's been a few days since posting, but I have some more mini's done.
This was Saturday's work. It is hard to do this after a full day at work, but on the other hand it gets the mind working in a different way.
This one I did Sunday after work; I retouched it on Monday. Sometimes you just see what it needs the next day.
On vacation to St Maarten I watched many sunrises and sunsets, trying to burn them in my mind, and this was one of these moments. The sun went down behind the hills and set the sky on fire.
And then there is the moon above the bay! Another time I stood staring at the sky.
After doing this one on Monday I felt stuck. What next? At the start I had plotted out a bunch of ideas, and they have now run out. Plus I'm running out of steam a bit. It's like a marathon and I need refueling.
In order to get ideas and see what else I could add I laid out all the panels in different patterns. Do I want the darks staggered or in the middle? Does it look bettered as some sort of patchwork pattern? It might be nice if there was some gradation in colors. So I did come up with some more ideas.
These next three I did Tuesday: Dutch clouds. I think there is really such thing. On a trip to the Netherlands this past May I went on a bike trip with my brother and sister in law. The air was so clear, the greens where so fresh green, and the clouds where the kind of puffy clouds. It turned all the ordinary things into a feast for the eyes.
These are some I want to do in a larger painting!
