Conversation

Pastel on UArt - 16x12

I started this painting as an inspiration from a painting by John Alfred Arnesby Brown - "The Dutch Windmill," but I wanted my own interpretation of clouds and a broad, flat landscape.  I also wanted to explore the problem of a composition with two, relatively equal areas of interest.  In this case, I wanted the clouds to be prominent, but I also wanted the trees in the sunlight to hold a special place. As a resolution, I used the light to create a "conversation" between the two.
