Landscape Diptychs

Here I am working on a couple of diptychs based on panoramic landscapes I've taken with my iPhone 


Under Paintings


Roughly two days progress, really liking the greens of the field


After about a weeks break (due to work) I spent another wet afternoon on it, The clouds are based on the photo but really aren't working out so I have since re painted the sky and lowered all the clouds to just above the horizon, stayed tuned for a picture update on that! currently in the process of finishing off. the tree line in the back ground has been a bit of a struggle as it was looking too bitty so I've tried to make it a bit more gestural. These latest landscapes have revealed a totally different painting style of mine compared to that of my figurative work which is interesting. It will be interesting to see if there is a cross over when I next tackle the figure, which will be very soon I hope!
