The large, bold landscapes I’m working on are not meant to be realistic landscape paintings. Some of my favorite art is California Impressionism. Also, I like Georgia O’Keefe’s and Maynard Dixon’s landscapes, American Modernism landscapes, and some American Regionalism landscapes. California Impressionism and American Regionalism were active during the Depression. Thomas Hart Benton was an American Regionalist. I think Jackson Pollack studied under him.
I am attempting to do realistic still-life paintings.

Woke up at 4:30 so I started painting another layer of the sky of Landscape 7.

Did some work on the clouds in Landscape 2. Next, I’ll repaint the blue sky, touch up the clouds, and then do the foreground. A few of the landscapes won’t take that long to finish up.

Worked on the sky in Landscape 3. A long way to go on the sky. There’s a long way to go on all of it.

Worked on Landscape-Original 2 which I started in May of 2022 when I was in the Bighorns Mountains. I took a step backward today but I initially painted this in my trailer under some LED lights and the colors weren’t right. It was in the 40s outside.
