Aerial views

I've been playing with some new perspectives, aerial views from my husbands Glasair (airplane). It's not the most common view, but I think that is what makes it so engaging for me. I love the patchwork quality of the land and the personality that comes out of the clouds.

I first experimented with this when Russ was flying hangliders and I was on top of a lot of different mountains. There was some impediment to my painting, either the scale or the size, and I just wasn't able to find images that worked out the way I wanted.

For the last several years I've secretly been planning about a dozen pieces that are now finding their way to paper or canvas. I'm not sure how everyone else will find them, but they have put me back in the clouds!
