I've decided to paint something that is about as "opposite" as one can get from the unending blizzards and snow that have hammered the region this winter. This scene, taken from a reference image in this month's Landscape Challenge on the Wetcanvas forums, is of a bunch of small trees on a sunlit hillside moments before a late afternoon thunderstorm unleashes a torrent of rain over the lands. The cloudscape was inspired by one of Bierstadt's works, though his scene was of a similar storm over a small farm. Either way, I think most of us would welcome rain vs. snow and ice at this point!

Hi Matthew!
ReplyDeleteIt's Helen (Heliona). I tried to email you but I guess the email address I had for you is no longer valid.
Anyway, first of all: I love your paintings. They're brilliant - really capture the light.
Secondly, how are you? Busy painting, obviously.
Holy moly - I remember you from the Lord of the Rings forums! How have you been, Helen? I sent you an email, at least to the email address that I have, so hopefully it gets through.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like my painting!

ReplyDeleteI really like this painting. The sunlight on the copse of trees really highlights the promise of spring, warmth, and light.
