Thick and Thin

OK, here's the paintings from the day before yesterday. They were dry enough to put back onto the pochade box to have their photos taken. The first one is done with thin paint, soft edges - sometimes softened with my fingers. (The color is a bot cooler and softer than it appears here. When I took these photos, the clouds had rolled in so they're still not great.)

This next painting is of the same scene (what a surprise, eh?) but painted with thick paint, slathered on. I don't usually paint this way, but oils seem to lend themselves to this method. It does give a more lively feeling to the painting.
