Sandy : 2026-06

Sandy
30 June 2026
Acrylic on wood
8 x 8 in (20.3 x 20.3 cm)


This was another painting for "Tiny but Mighty" (see Rabbet for more info). I didn't really have an idea so I went with what something I love - big skies and dominate clouds. In retrospect, the sunburst versions might have worked - especially the second one - but it didn't grab my attention as much as I though it would when I took a step back. Before painting over the original sky (second and third shots in the gif below), I sanded the painting. I thought it gave a cool texture to the terrain. It also gave this painting its title.

This "stage" gif shows some versions and about five days had passed.

There is no frame currently holding Sandy, but it will likely be a wooden museum wrap.
