Painting my home

Hills around home. Acrylic on paper. 50cmx70cm

Clouds

There are some beautiful cloudy skies around home at this time of the year. I love Turner's paintings and especially the way he paints his skies. They are so evocative, subtle and heroic. I couldn't attempt to paint a sky like his. It would always appear clumsy. Photos of the sky near home and images of Turner's skies - these two things totally unrelated really.

Idris Murphy. One of my favourite Australian landscape painters
