Using a palette knife, I layered blues to evoke the vastness of the sky and the distant horizon in this small 9 x 3 inch piece, capturing a sense of atmospheric depth, especially in the sky. I varied the blues to suggest cloud movement, creating a convincing sense of space and distance.
The thick impasto creates a tactile landscape, from the textured water to the rocky edges. Despite its miniature scale, I aimed to capture an atmospheric and immersive… scene.
The painting, framed under glass in a black floating frame, is subtly raised from its backing, with the raised support casting a shadow gap.

Within and Without
My art has been described as moody but calm. Since my first collection, I See Through the Seasons (2016), I have given our forests human characteristics. I moved through winter and Arctic scenes, but the forests have stayed with me.
Then came the islands. Endogenous/Exogenous (2022) set me thinking about what forms us from within and what shapes us from without, and that led to Island Just for You. The sea has worn at an island’s shore for thousands of years, and the island has yet to take much notice.
A person is much the same. However close we are to others, each of us lives in a solitude no one else can fully enter, yet stays grounded in the same earth as everyone else. Our values change as we age, but the self endures. Past seventy, the question is less what I want and more what I leave behind.
Calm comes from accepting that solitude. I have spent years learning to be alone with myself, and I am still getting used to the company. venafrobob.com
