Oil

This painting is about the sky. The vastness of the horizon and blending of colors. Down below, trees and a mountain are scratched into the oil paint. While more than half of the painting is smooth and blended in, the blue at the bottom gives it weight through line and gesture. A majority of the center of the painting I kept bright white. I wanted to try and give the horizon a larger focal point. Rich red fades down into bright orange and finally white about the mountains.
