Skies
These vary from tiny watercolours to large oils on canvas.
Frequently I find the sky more interesting than the landscape beneath - probably because the sky changes so quickly - the clouds seem to dance across the sky sometimes.
A night sky is particularly challenging. I know where my palette is when I start the painting but by the time I finish it is so dark I am not so sure which colours I am using. It is quite a surprise when I look the next day in daylight.
