Turbulent Sky
In creating this vibrant oil plein air painting, "Turbulent Sky," I aimed to blend the stylistic elements of Fauvism and Impressionism to convey the untamed beauty of the countryside during an impending thunder and lightning storm. Using bold, expressive colors, I sought to encapsulate nature's perpetual renewal and movement, as represented by the tumultuous sky and flourishing trees. These vibrant hues capture the natural world's explosive energy and evoke the sense of solitude found along the country road.
My Plein Air and In-Studio Painting Experience: I embarked on this painting on location, immersing myself in the landscape to capture its essence. A looming pitch-black thunderstorm approached rapidly as I worked, urging me to work swiftly. I barely managed to pack up before the sky erupted in a tumult of howling winds and torrential rain. The sudden shift in the weather was a startling experience. Following this, I continued to work on the piece in the studio, drawing from a combination of digital photos and recollections of the tranquil moments preceding the storm.
