Big Little Skies
It's really been fun to paint so freely with thick juicy oil paint.
Each one painted in a short session, wet on wet, no going back into it later or fussing..
Just let it be what it was in the moment of painting it.

About Big Little Skies
Big Little Skies began as intimate paintings to represent a little of the beauty experienced and captured on my i-phone this past year. Glowing skies seen from my window or walks along the beach. These moments of awe were welcome daily highlights during a time of uncertainty and isolation. A reminder that as each day passes there is an abundance of beauty to be found.
I’ shifted my practice a little by stepping out of my comfort zone, simplifying my palette, but expanding the range of colors mixed. Using an Alla Prima approach, I worked quickly letting go of accurately rendering the view in favor of capturing the energy and movement of the scene. Laying down paint with speed and confidence, honoring the integrity of the mark. This creates a seductive surface of luscious, juicy, and buttery textures that feel fresh and alive. They almost look edible!
