COME ONE ,COME ALL,Let the sky talk to YOU(MORE SKIES ADDED)...........

[Peter Pinckney]

A little while ago I was doing a WIP and I received a comment that set me thinking...........the comment was that the viewer found it very surprising to see that I was painting from the top of the canvas down..........I've always done it this way and I explained that when the sky is finished IT tells me what to paint next............so I thought I'd post a sky here......you take it and see what it leads YOU to do...........it's not a contest ........it's an experiment that could be very interesting. Re-post the finished paintings here and let's all enjoy ........

I did a little lazy answer to your sky inspiration,
the Ocean and a gull
but I liked the idea.

I accept your project challenge!


I'll post my results as soon as I'm finished.

OK, so I know I went a little far off the beaten trail on this, but once I decided to play around with the hue of the sky things began to move in a new direction.

The "Flowers of Evil" is a collection of poems about decadence and sensuality by French poet Charles Baudelaire (1821 - 1867). He could be thought of as Edgar Allen Poe's gloomier French cousin.

In today's world, a convenient example of a "Flower of Evil" would be the opium poppy, and all of the woe associated with it, from Taliban terrorized Afghan farmers through 15 year old heroin addicts half a world from the fields.

In a broader sense the "Flowers of Evil" are anything that seems attractive and hides its poison behind perfume.

This is what I came up with.


I will probably tweak it a bit more... maybe.

Thanks for the inspiration!



EDIT: GRRR! I always forget to sign them!
