Above the Clouds (Revisited)

Oils on canvas. Original composition.

I wasn't very happy with the mountains/ground in the original painting (below), so I've redone it a bit. Note that the original paints were very poor quality, so this serves as a good example of why cheap paints aren't worth it. For example, the muddy browns and watery black are now much richer, which improves the contrast of the work.

Barbados Beach

Oils on canvas. Gifted to a private collection.


Painted quite a while ago, sometime before November 2015. I tried to focus on creating the texture for the clouds, water, and ground, and I'm very happy with the result! The subject is the sunset of Barbados from February 2015.
