Foothill Vines 5 Painting

This is yet another in a series of paintings I've done of a glorious little scene G and I came across on a drive around the foothills of Carpinteria and its fascination for me just keeps on growing. I can't get enough of the ever-changing vines and the cluster of mismatched trees, the majestic mountains and the sun-drenched sky. Speaking of sky, I had almost finished this painting but for some reason I hadn't yet started the sky which is unprecedented for me. Anyway, G and I were on the terrace the other day when I finally took up my brush and started to paint a blue and violet sky as in the previous paintings, the bold slashes of paint designed to echo the brushstrokes of the mountains, but for some reason it just didn't feel right. So I put down my brush and glanced across the terrace towards G and all of a sudden I noticed that the sky behind him had taken on the most incredible blazing light and was alive with streaks of pinks and oranges, the vast landscape below set on fire by the setting sun, and in that instant I knew exactly what the sky wanted to be. What a wonderful revelation and what an absolute joy it was to paint!
