March Sky-Oak Bay

I worked this painting up from a smaller plein

air piece I did back in March ;)).

I have been trying to paint cloudy day paintings this

year without the "dreary", something I

tend to struggle to accomplish.

Oil on linen 18 x 14.

Comments always welcomed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We worked from early morning until dark in sun,

grey weather or in rain. In the evening by lamp or candlelight

each showed the others his sketches.

This was a time for criticism, encouragement and

discussion, for our discoveries about painting, for our

thoughts about the character of the country and our

descriptions of effects in nature which differed in

each part of the country."

(Lawren Harris...writing about the trip to Algoma)
