Trees And Clouds


8x10
Oil/masonite
Studio painting

This is from a picture I took at San Luis Obispo, CA last year. I finally got around to painting it. Although on the small side for a studio piece, I thought it would be fun anyway, plus I wanted to finish it in one session and give it the feel of a plein air piece. The clouds were spectacular that day, they were literally in this formation when I took the pic. I love how clouds can help frame a painting.
