IMPROVISED SKY





My initial intention was to create a warm gray sky with subtle variations in value to dominate the canvas. Separating the sky from a foreground of similar value would be a fee dramatic elements on the horizon. Didn't someone say something about "the best laid plans..."? It was not working, or, I could not make it work, so in frustration I did what I usually do...put all the chosen colors on the canvas and began randomly blending them with a dampened paper towel until I achieved my sky, not the one I originally planed, but this one, which I think is better.

Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with the rest of the canvas.
