Storms Coming

Comments

What wonderful textures, Bridget, and how well the painting conveys the force of a storm. I'd hate to be caught out in that!

It certainly is a storm - very intimidating! Great.

In answer to Helen's question where in Somerset are you? I live in a little village called Wrington, North Somerset. We also have a house in North Cornwall of which the picture of "Storms Coming" was painted

this for me has a fantasy feel to it, and the book 'Northern Lights' was conjured up when i first saw this :-) full of drama, mystery and atmosphere, i like it a lot :-) i wonder if you added any salt to this?

Hi Rebecca thank you for all your comments. I did not use salt I just let the wet on wet do its wonderful work. The watercolour + inks work wonderfully together letting them run together is very exciting. I always think I am in control but in the end the results can exceed my expectations.

Storms Coming was painted hidden in a drawer for ages before I had the image of it scanned and produced into a greeting card. During a recent Open Studio event many people commented on the card asking where the original painting was. So I have now had it framed for the Somerset Arts Week open studios and it has drawn a lot of attention and interesting comments. Painted on Saunders Waterford Rough 100% cotton mould made acid free watercolour paper using Watercolour and Acrylic Inks. Size including frame 80cm x 100cm
