Muto's Minis #5

After I finished studying for a test on Sunday night, I still didn't feel like going to sleep, even though it was 3:00 in the morning. I opened my sketchbook to look for inspiration, but instead of an old sketch, I found some prose that I wrote off the top of my head earlier this year. The words conjured up the scene of an empty desert and a sky filled with stars, with mountains off in the distance separating myself for the rest of the world. I quickly got to work creating a dark, evening scene. In minutes I had the sky and mountains completed. Then I decided to add clouds. I have been needing to practice clouds and this is among my first attempts. I really like the versatility of orange and blue. I used some purple on the mountains, but it doesn't show up here.


If you like this painting, I will want your opinion comparing it to the one I will post on Tuesday! I can post the words that inspired the painting. If anyone is interested, just leave a comment.
