I'm happy with how this turned out. I got the inspiration from an ai generated image. This felt more like traditional oil painting rather than wet-on-wet, and it took me a while to work it out. I started with an underpainting to get the values right, then spent what felt like ages matching colors. I liked being able to chip away at it over several weeks, but it also becomes a bit tedious trying to be so exact with everything. I've since gone back to Bob for a break, but It was a great learning experience!

great sky Jeff!luvs it!
Wow!! Super job!
I love this!
Looks great, Jeff!
Could you elaborate on what you used the AI for?
Very nice Jeff with a great sky!
So gorgeous!
Everything about this is perfect! So gorgeous, Jeff! It looks very watercolor-ish (I like to do that with oils as well). The contrast at the horizon draws me into the painting like I am there in person!
Super realistic Jeff, perfect as always ✌️
Fabulous landscape, very easy on the eye.
Awesome sunset. You made eye candy look easy.
Looking very very good, Jeff.
I love how it is made out of general shapes and yet it looks very detailed.
(With "general shapes" I mean no individual blades of grass or tree leaves and all that kind of detail.)
Wow, those clouds! Spectacular work Jeffth.
Thanks so much everyone, and yes Titia I appreciate that aspect of it as well. I'm glad it's effective in that regard :D
Felix - The design and composition is not my own, I used AI to generate a barrage of images in the aspect ratio of the canvas I had. For the prompt I used something like 'sunset landscape, dramatic sky, low detail, path, natural colors'. I reviewed the images, saved one I liked, then with the laptop positioned near my canvas I first made a drawing on the canvas. Along the way, I would take photos of my work and convert it to black and white to check where my values were at, compared to a b+w converted version of the source image.
Beautiful work!
