Bass Rock sunset with heavy cloudOil on canvas
20x16 inches
Another Bass Rock painting, this time working up from my pastel ideas into oil. This was painted entirely with a pallette knife (except a couple of moments of finger painting- still the artists best tool for softening edges!)
I love the textured affect that can be acheived with the knife, it prevents you from being too detailed. Also I love paintings that from a distance are based on realism but as you go closer the image breaks up and can be quite abstract.

Hi Ryan,
I love the colores you used in this particular painting of Bass Rock. The grey/blues against that blazing orange is great. I like to see how you have portrayed the rock in various lighting/colors in the different pieces.
I've been very tempted to do various paintings of the same subject just to see the changes I would come up with and will one day do just that. I think that's a great way to see your improvement in painting. Nice work here Ryan.

That's what I love about this subject, the change in colours can be immense and I love the solitude of the Rock itself.
