"Saanich Inlet" - Cloud detail

Started to paint in the clouds this morning. Have never reproduced this kind of low-lying, misty type cloud before -- the experience has been challenging x 4!

After painting the clouds for a couple of hours, I felt a need to take a break and paint in the background hills and orange sky. The sky is striking! It gave me inspiration and drive to go back and figure out the clouds. And so I did and it has!!! Moments ago I figured out how to paint them. Yippee! Sometimes it takes removing myself from the intensity of learning something new to return with fresh eyes. Ahhh, re-finding the zone.

After I complete the painting, I'll need to resin the entire canvas. This usually takes me about 1 week. The next pic I post will be the completed piece.
