Cloud journey 3

This painting was inspired by the patterns of shifting light and shade as clouds pass over the mountains and headlands.  I started painting outside. I harnessed the power of the wind and used mixed media and seeds and wildflowers I gathered on my walks. Back inside my studio, I allowed paint to evaporate slowly into tidelines of pigment. I repeated this process over several weeks to create overlapping, translucent layers. It’s a slow meditative process. Forms are transitory, evolving and fragile.
