    Thanks Tola…at the moment when I look into it I just feel relief at actually finishing it! Ha ha…but on a serious note I’ve always loved just staring into the sky, so for me, I find it relaxing and calming…I hope others do too…

    Great composition Cherie. Stunning use of color as well. The small amount of the cold blue in the water really makes the warm sky pop. Great example of hot cold contrast.

    This is excellent Cherie. The stunning sky draws you into this picture but its the detailed foreground that shows off your talent. Wow! Must look great on your wall.

  • Cherie Dirksen replied

    Thanks for the comment Juliex. I’m afraid it is too big for my wall…LOL…so unfortunately it sits packed up in my studio.

    gorgeous Painting Cherie , love this one , Last year i was in Cape Town for the first time , I was amazed how the sky looks in SA , well done.

  • Cherie Dirksen replied

    Thanks, Al. I’m so glad you got a chance to come over here – I absolutely love the african sky. I lived in the UK for a few years and one of the things I missed the most was, funnily enough, the sky.

  • Al Neaimi

    Al Neaimi

    I also lived in London for a long time and one of the things i used to miss was a clear sky , in my profile you will find some of my photos from Cape Town … all the flowers wear taken in the botanical gardens in CT.
