Here is my top nine or whatever it's called of 2021. A productive if somewhat dreary year socially one can only hope for a better year to come although based on past experience every year has it's ups and downs so here's to a 2022 with more ups than downs!
The location for this is somewhere near Hagerman in Texas although as usual it will be the sky and the mood that the painting is more about. The ground is painted with my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet and the sky colour is a mix of Permanent Orange and Warm Light Yellow.

The good news is that the seller has kindly offered to give me 5% of the sale price! This is a complete one-off and really does not affect the price of anything else I have done or indeed will do so I can't up my prices on the back of it!

I have now painted in roughly all the landscape apart from the palace and although it doesn't look how I intended (again) I will go with the flow and finish it this way - I had originally intended it be more blue. This one is very hard to photograph and looks too harsh here compared to the original....
