Sunshine and Storm Clouds


"Sunshine and Storm Clouds" - watercolour - 16 x 26 cm 
 
Often the simplest subjects can make the most dramatic paintings. One day I noticed these trees, with their bright Spring foliage, against a background of dark storm clouds. The nearly complimentary colours of deep blue and warm yellow added to the drama.  I used only French Ultramarine, Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna for the whole painting.

      Hi Bruce, it was one of those rare occasions when Nature provided everything, and nothing needed to be changed or added or taken away.

      All the best,
      Keith

      Thank you Diane, I suppose it might have some of the qualities of the Outback.
