Sketch Painting by Brian Sindler: Maple Frame

A violet cloud parks itself over a low ridge, edges lit like toast.

Number 29 is a sketch painting by Brian Sindler, in acrylic on board with a maple frame, dated 2020 to 2024. Clouds are a classic subject for quick outdoor studies, since they change shape faster than any careful painting could keep up with. Here a broad purple cloud bank crosses the middle of the panel against a sage green sky. Peach highlights catch its upper edges, and a pale yellow green burst opens on the right. A dark ridge of land runs along the bottom. It is 7 inches wide and 7 high, with a 6 inch square image.

Weather, caught in the act.
