Blue Painting on Sky Walk Photograph

I came across this painting on a digital print from one of my sky walks the other day and decided to photograph it. I am thinking this is going to be the beginning of an extended series of painterly sky works.

Five Ways of Sky

World of Form, Form in Emptiness, Approaching Emptiness, Emptiness as Void, Emptiness as All Things Visible. This is similar to the ox herding pictures often depicted in Zen arts.

Experimental work from several years ago using pastel text on a sky photograph. The upper text comes from a combination of internet research and thought awareness that arose during a walk. The bottom text is the optical technique I used for experiencing this particular sky. The blue paint is totally accidental as this was lying around the studio for several years.
