Pastel on UArt - 12x18
I was inspired by a painting I had completed a few years
ago, but the design and atmosphere of the smaller painting inspired me to give
it a larger treatment. The original was done with warm grays for the
approach of a summer storm, but since it is winter now, I wanted to give the
painting a sense of the coming cold using a cooler, more blue palette.
My goal was to retain the loose, billowy clouds and add a
touch of drama by using my strokes to indicate a sense of the on-rushing
storm. I wanted to contrast that movement with the perfect stillness of
the beach by keeping the reflections on the wet sand smooth capturing the color
of the clouds without the movement.
Here is the original painting for comparison - "Rain Coming" 9x12" pastel on UArt.
