The photographs look better that the actual paintings.

Small Sky Painting—March 2016
Small painting acrylic on paper 18 x 24 inches ©2016 Chris Page
Small Sky Painting was created by over-painting an earlier painting. I am interested in the gap between cloud banks where the orange ground of the sky is revealed. The challenge is how to contend with the inherent figure ground problem of the atmospheric ground. The original soft orange of the ground made for a good chromatic contrast to the gestures using Payne's grey of the top layer. To see some other example of the appearance of this kind of sky gap check out the next entry Dark and Light Stripes.

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.
