Hmmm, another not so serious attempt to make a painting. Hopefully I'll get down to business in the next couple of days.
I did this mostly from memory of this big gorgeous thundercloud. It was hovering just ahead of me as I drove home on the interstate after a nice visit with my mom, dad and brother. It never did rain, at least not on me.

I wish I was sitting on a bench in a museum and was able to just stay for hours looking at this glorious painting. I guess it would have to be bigger :) Soooo much emotion....it really gave me the feeling of our tiny little place in the universe. All in a 3"x5" painting!!
ReplyDeleteJean, the clouds are beautiful. I'm impressed that you painted them from memory. Isn't it wonderful to see such beautiful clouds when you are driving on the highway?
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I loved about this post, is the comment your sweet sister left! Isn't that so nice?!
Wow, this is really awesome. I again can't believe how small it is, though. You seem to have a really cool talent to create big expansive space on a tiny "canvas," kind of a neat specialty niche perhaps...
ReplyDeletecomplimenti per i tuoi lavori, mi piacciono molto i tuoi colori. ciao dall'italia, luisa
ReplyDeleteThank you all.
ReplyDeleteKath and Laura- you guys are too sweet. Even though I hate that interstate drive, almost every time I'm treated to a wonderful "light show". (Usually rushing to get home before dark.)
Jala, I really try not to put so much on the tiny canvas, but I get carried away. I'm always fighting that temptation to continually add more detail. Thank you for liking it.
Luisa, Grazie!
Yes I like it too! I love doing this type of thing from memory sometimes too...it can be kind of freeing in a way.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really dramatic piece (especially considering its size!).
This one and the one after it with the butterfly are my two favorite ones. I really like your stuff....wish I could see it in real life.
