Window to the Sky no 15, original small mixed media painting

Description

Earlier this summer I begun a series of sky and cloud studies - to sharpen my observation skills and to gain a better understanding of the variety of skies and clouds formation. Landscapes and cityscapes figure prominently in my artwork and both of them the sky is central - in particular as it changes constantly in the West of Scotland where I live.

Many of these little studies were done from my favourite seat, looking out of my living room window across the rooftop of the opposite row of tenement flats. It is from this viewing point that the series title 'Window to the Sky' comes from.

The media used for this series is a mix of Neopastel II, a water-soluble crayon; water soluble graphite; felt pen; soft pastels; and occasionally water colours and pencil. The support is primed Bristol board with a lot of tooth to grip the pigments.

I have mounted the non-standard sized paintings on high-quality, bevelled-edge mountboard and backing board (both of the acid-free). The size of the mounted painting is 9x12" (24x30cm), which is a standard frame size and will make it easy for you to find a suitable frame.

This painting, WTTS #15 is 3.5x3.5" (9x9cm) square. It depicts a part cloudy mid-morning sky in Neopastel II,felt pen and graphit; and was done on 1/8/2007. Mounted in a warm white and signed and dated on the back of the paint.
