Absolutely gorgeous! The tower is called the Devils Tower ( in Wyoming USA). And I hate white little clouds. I enjoy every sky I have seen you do and always look forward to your next video. From 🇨🇦

I love you talking and painting simultaneously feels like I am in the moment, for instance like washing the paint brush, good work Stuart.

Another video well worth the wait, Stuart. Thank you. Do I remember you saying there was to be a follow up to a previous painting, adding glazes? I have tried to add them to my own paintings and clearly need to learn more! However, I now have a list of techniques I have learned from your videos that I always use in my landscapes as well as other tips I've picked up from you and they have transformed my results. As always, I look forward to the next video.

I started oil painting recently and This is the first video of yours that I watch. I must say that not only do I like the way you teach but you seem like a very patient and kind person. i subscribed, I can’t wait to learn more from your videos. Thank you so much I’m glad you have a channel because we need more teachers like you. Thank you!!

This painting makes me pause and look at it for quite a while. I very much like its dramatic feel, not depressing. I liked it best right before the little trees on the white line. Extraordinary Rumbling sky-I was waiting for a giant Olympian hand to burst through the clouds and reach down. Love your style.

Absolutely amazing! I love this dramatic sky and the colors of the sky so much! Thank you a lot!

[abbydl]

I love the emotions this peace gives me rawness of nature.

Yes I am slowly learning to loosen up and make fuller use of your advice and teaching. My painting has much improved. Thank you Stuart

[carolspraker]

I absolutely love it! Thank you again for sharing your creative, your knowledge and your humor with us.

[catrionanicolsonfinlay]

I love this one, the looseness of your paintings is so inspiring! Thanks.

[giovannibazzini]

Once you said that “you paint your feelings “ well this paint is how I’m feeling today.
As always a stunning work, thank you.

Great stuff Stuart, very atmospheric, love it, take care

I love the painting! Years ago I was driving through New Mexico on a small highway, headed toward a magnificent mesa. It reared up in the distance, partially obscured by the rain and thunderclouds swirling around it. I was thrilled by the drama, and possible danger. Your painting evokes that journey beautifully.

Always interesting to both watch and listen to you. And yes...every now and then moody is a good definition of the color of the day, lately.

[leithomalley]

Love the direction with this one Stuart.. has a nice Turner'esque feel to it.. plenty of mood, turbulence and emotion in there. Just wonderful.

[judynewell]

Love the depth and contrast, again your the master of your brush.
