The second in my Notes on a Landscape series. This one turned out well, I think. See the video of the painting process down below.

Completing the second in my "Notes on a Landscape" series. Here I explain some of the thought processes involved in developing this painting from start to finish. And it gets weird. As always, like and subscribe for more videos! Thanks for watching!

Coming up with titles for paintings can be frustrating sometimes. At some point I start to default to generic names like "abstract landscape #4" or "dog with bone" or "a pretty good painting of an apple" . . . sometimes I'm able to resist this urge but sometimes I give in. This painting had me bouncing back and forth between obscure poetic nonsense and bland though descriptive simplification. I opted for the poetic route, though I think it isn't so obscure as to have no connection with the subject matter (there's even a bit of irony in the name: the subject matter is a clear day but the rendering of it would certainly not be described as "clear").
