Big Sky

So, it's always good when my sketchbook doodles can transfer to a painting. This sky, inspired by our stay in Inchydoney in January, was painted using the colours I tested in my sketchbook recently - Naples Yellow (DS), Moonglow (DS) and Prussian Blue (HWC). Quarter sheet.

I'm going through this debate in my head these days about whether this qualifies as a painting, or is it just a happy wash? Personally, I could put this on my wall and look at it all day. The colours and granulation make me so happy. But in all honesty, I probably wouldn't frame it, as I know most people would not find it interesting enough. I guess that I was happy while painting it, but is that enough?
