Within minutes of starting this painting my subject disappeared – the light! A huge raincloud came over, I carried on for a bit but then abandoned and started another one.
The rain cloud was amazing so dramatic, I enjoyed painting it. The photo doesn’t really show the subtleties here is a sneak preview… It’s not quite finished.
Then back to this one after the rain front went.
I wanted to make strong brush strokes no fiddling. I was on a top of a very windy exposed cliff and I had to attack my painting so it had the same energy as the subject. The sea was so loud the crashing waves. Quite a spot!
