Oklahoma Landscape III 1"x 2" Acrylic on linen 18"SS, $225 Notice the beautiful day in Oklahoma. It is the same type of sky I tried to capture in the Oklahoma landscape pendant above.

If any of you have a trick or know a helpful starter fomula, I would really appreciate it if you pass along to me.
