Castles Tall, I've Built Them All...
The Lonely Castle(8x10, oils, SOLD)
A note-I'm going to be more sporadic. Please do check in with my blog, but I'm coming into a "busy" time, so, I am fairly stating the paintings will be more like 3 times a week, maybe four if doable. I just don't want to feel like it's "one more thing to do", and I 'd rather put the joy into them. So, if a few days goes by and nothing new appears, fear not, I will be updating soon!!! This whole thing is for both yours and my enjoyment, so please bear with me-thanks!!
I felt like another castle ruin to paint, just to play with reflections and such. I borrowed a bit from Thomas Cole in terms of mood here. He would always successfully so, paint epic images of landscapes with stormy skies. Again, I used palette knife around the rocks, and various media with the oils themselves.

I like your skies more and more. Something about the contrast between heavy clouds and late sun. The stillness of the lake makes the scene quiet.
Thanks Tessa. I like doing these because they lend an air of some time, a long time ago. The mood, the sun, all of it.
I really like how your castles almost grow right out of your mountains. Sometines you have to look twice. Really like that effect.
