The sky is never still.It changes every secondlight shifts, clouds dissolve, colors appear and disappear before you even notice them. By the time a painter mixes the next color, the sky has already become something else.That is why painting the sky is never about copying reality. It is about capturing an impression of a fleeting moment that no longer exists.Perhaps that is why the Impressionists were so fascinated by light and atmosphere. They painted not what they knew was there, but what they felt in that instant. Every brushstroke became a memory of a changing sky.This painting grew from that same idea. The textured layers, bold palette knife marks, and shifting colors are not meant to freeze the sky in time, they are meant to preserve the feeling of watching it transform, moment after moment.By the time the painting was finished, the real sky had changed hundreds of times. But one impression remained on the canvas.
