My painting The Promise of a New Day is a study after one of his studies! He was well known for being very precise in notations of the atmospheric conditions, the prevailing weather conditions, direction of the light and time of day on the back of his sketches.

And speaking of weather. On Friday night, the opening of my art exhibit in High Springs, the rain came down in buckets.
So here's a special thank you to all who came out to the exhibit. Thanks!
I had a chance to talk to old and new friends and had a wonderful time despite the rain clouds.
The Light Falls Softly exhibit is on through the month of September.

I am so glad you included the story about John Constable. Do you know that one his tiny postcard sized paintings was recently discovered? And valued around $500,000? Perhaps ours will be too, but do we have to be dead? Thanks for sharing. Your cloud study is lovely. www.carolhopper.blogstpot.com
I love that you shared the story with us, Thank You Karen. This is such a lovely scene. I would most like to learn how to paint clouds in all their glory. They are difficult in watercolor. You have done them justice here. Beautiful!
Thanks Sheila. I love painting clouds and hope to really capture the atmosphere and sense of space and wonder.
Painting is such an adventure.
thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I really appreciate your thoughts.
This is really amazing, Karen! You inspire me...
Karen! This painting speaks to me. I don't know exactly what the reference is in my life but I am reminded of something from my early childhood - like really early. I'd love to see this in person. Is it in High Springs?
Srishti thank you. So glad to meet you through the 30/30 challenge.
Very gentle.. this painting makes me feel peaceful. Thanks for sharing.
