Painted plein air during a trip to Hawaii, this piece was all about capturing a moment before the light changed. I was drawn to the clouds and the way they seemed to catch every color in the sky, from warm peach and ivory to lavender and blue.
I used an impasto technique, building up the paint with thick, expressive brushstrokes to give the clouds movement and texture. I love how the colors shift and mingle, and how the sky seems to carry those same colors down into the water.
Painting outdoors is a different experience. There is no overthinking it. You have to look, respond and make the most of the light while it's there.
