Woke up at 4:30 for some reason so I started painting early
Worked on Landscape 3. I didn’t like the unrealistic-looking dark clouds so I covered them with a base cloud layer. Quite a bit of work to do on all areas of the painting.
Did some work on the clouds of Landscape 2.

I gave MidJouney AI Image Generator parameters to create maybe 100 images. I chose these to paint. I’ll start them as I finish the ones I’m working on now.

Worked on the background, foreground, and better defined the shapes such as the bottles of Still Life 3. There’s a ways to go. The apples are the least difficult parts of this painting to paint.

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.

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.
