Both Sides Now

I recently came across these photos that my brother had taken from a flight somewhere over Asia. I love the idea of being immersed between layers of atmosphere. This type of experience fascinates me. The photos will serve as an inspiration point for the painting I started last week. I began the painting with the idea that I would create the sense of flying between levels of atmosphere, when I remembered these photos that where taken last year. Given my artistic captivation with otherworldly atmospheric places, I think these photos offer a nice example of such. Although I don’t normally work from photos, I do love the dreamlike aspect of these skies, and I hope to create the same sentiment in my newest painting.
