More paintings done with my new impressionist brushes! This one is a scene from my work in progress novel about a traveling artist and his apprentice. In the novel the little girl said the stars look like a thousand spying eyes so there are some creepy eyes hidden in the sky 😂

There is also a town in the distance with white steam and black smoke from burning coal.

Time lapse! The full hours long video recording, HD images and PSD files will be DMed on Patreon.

Paint me an absence, a silhouette of rain 

When others take shelter, I take on shape 

This invisible life in negative space 

Shortens the fall that water must make
