A farmers home, oil sketch by Joseph Mahon

I have been doing a lot of oil studies on paper recently, mostly landscapes. Dramatic skies and wonderful clouds appeal to me. This little study oil on paper 5x7 ins is of a farmers house, barn and the sky for company.

Landscape study

A landscape study on paper 7x10 ins. I use oil painting paper at times to try out different compositions and colour schemes or just work out an idea. This little painting is of a view near to where I live. I was mostly interested in the sky and creating distance and depth.
