Sky Series----Revisited



Sky Series

A wise sage (aka: Rita Kirkman) once said, "Denise, you need to paint a series!" So I did as was suggested and began painting small sky paintings......now that was several years ago. Think I painted almost 20 small sky paintings. From that beginning I received a request for a large sky commission. All that was so wonderful, but as is my problem, I became a little bored with the series. 

I did not give up painting skies all together, just the small series. Sunsets have been a favorite subject. The opportunity to try to capture the grandeur of God's creation is humbling. As I was working on a 12" x 12" painting of the sun breaking through the clouds, yesterday, I received notification that 3 of my small sky paintings from the original series had sold on Daily Paintworks. I was blown away!

Serendipitous..... don't think so, because today God provided the most beautiful cloud filled sky to photograph. Expect more small skies in the near future!
