Michael WhelanTHE GLOAMING (1994)
Oils on canvas - 48" x 36"
I actually saw these clouds from my backyard late one summer evening, and they inspired me to come right inside and paint the scene. 1/3
As an experiment, I used a homemade medium that included plenty of poppyseed oil, for its non-yellowing properties. It's also an extremely slow drier--it must have taken four weeks for the painting to dry to the touch. 3/3
