Lightning # 9

Alright now I am trying something new which I have no clue how to do.

A buddy of mine showed me this picture of Lightning. It looked awesome and seemed like it would make a cool painting.

So I did some searching online to se some examples of other artist painting Realistic lightning.

No such luck. so I said hey I will try this on a small canvas and hey if it doesnt work oh well I can say I tried.

I really wanted to make it for my buddies B-Day so I did try really hard to make it look nice.

Enough talking here it is. once again these pics are from my cell and I will post some nicer ones once I take em.
Canvas board 8x10


I like the sky color but it was so hard to paint the actual lightning. it came out really thick(fat) but overall for my first try it was cool. I dont think i want to paint lightning and i now understand why i could not find any examples of others painting lightning.

Maybe its one of those things that God made for us to view not paint :)

Hi Jay, Just checking in on you, no new paintings? Hope everything is ok. Pick up that brush and get busy, lol. Happy painting. Barb (barbie bud)

Thanks for the encouragement Barb,
I have just been so busy with work and Life that I have not had the privilege of painting.

I will pick up that brush soon though. I Promise ;)
