Afternoon Storm Clouds, Point Pilcher, 61cm x 122cm, acrylic on linen, 2024– sold

This is my studio version of my earlier plein air work from an earlier post on this website. My studio paintings are more detailed and refined than my plein air works which are recorded quickly and expressively, but they are usually more imaginative and inventive too. I work from my photos but I always stray away from the photo-mechanical image of the photo and into a more interior space. I think this is a good example of what happens when I’m in a comfortable, controlled environment, with good appropriate music, lots of breaks and time to think.
