Cloud Study Art Original Painting Work in Progress WIP...

So, I disliked the clouds so much for my angel fairy painting that I painted over them completely with the background sky colors.  I've taken a little 5x7 panel here and worked on some more clouds as a study to see if I can get them right before I paint them on the larger panel with my angel fairy.  These are lighter and fluffier and definitely an improvement, but still not good enough...  I think I need to find some better reference and try again.  I'm not sure if I should paint over these and try to improve them or if I should start from scratch on another panel; decisions, decisions...

A Photograph of a Cloudy Sky and Some Palm Trees Outside of my Home...

I'm looking at photographs of the sky for a background for my Athena and Owlie painting.  I took this photograph outside of my home, obviously I wouldn't use the palm trees or the telephone line, but I thought it was a pretty scene and the clouds have potential.  I hope you will enjoy this photo...

29 Faces, Face 25 & a Photo of Clouds at Sunset...

This is face 25.  I tried an angle I don't usually try, I'm not very sure about this face, but part of the challenge is to try new things...  For 29 Faces, the challenge is to share 29 faces in the month of February... 

Here is a photograph I took of some clouds near sunset.  I'm going to try to use a variation of this for the little bit of background that shows in my small Aphrodite goddess painting that I am working on.  I am hoping to get her finished on time for tomorrow, but once again find myself unsure that that will happen.  If I don't finish her for tomorrow, I'll try to post her Thursday.
