in El Greco's Toledo awed me at a young age. His sky had such power. I worked on painting skies with futility for many years.
Then I discovered Eric Sloane. He painted masterful skies that I tried to emulate. I learned that he had written an instructional book in 1950, Skies and the Artist, but found it to be out of print.
