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.

Early Morning Sky Triggers Painting Memory
Waking up this morning (04.02.2016) there was a thin cloud layer in the sky that revealed a slight bit of light down at the horizon. The field like nature of this painting from 2012 came to mind.

Sky Gesture 1
2012
54 x 84 inches
Acrylic on Canvas
Sky Gesture I uses a rhythmic overlaying of gestural action using the length of my reach as the predominant size of the gesture. The final layer, a very thin wash, includes migrating drips that were allowed to remain visible on the right and lower edges of the painting. In Payne’s gray revealing lavender along the bottom edge, the spatial field appears to optically hover as if not quite synonymous with the picture plane.

This a second set of images from the Evening Sky Walk 04.02.2016 looking west into the sun while walking at Wentworth Conservation Area.
Returning to Blue o4.15.2015
While walking on April 15.2015 at Wentworth Farm Conservation Area I kept returning my attention to the predominantly cloudless sky for over an hour between 5:35 to 6:40pm. This group of twenty eight photographs documents this walk (shown below the installation photograph) .
This work was installed as part of the Sky Walk show in the summer of 2015.
