Dark Rain Clouds


Well the rain came and went.  Yesterday evening, after my walk, I found the sun setting while the sky was filled with dark clouds. It was just to good to pass up a painting like this so I dashed home and got my paint box just to see if I could capture just a hint of the dramatic view. The sun was setting and some of the light rays highlighted just a few trees making them glow while being accented by the dark as night back drop.

Those dark blue-purpley skies really make those yellow- orangey trees vibrate!!!! Awesome!

Isn't it great when you see an otherworldly light effect and you try to capture it on paper... and it works! Fantastic!

Nothing beats a post-storm sunset light!! Your watercolour is wonderful, and captures the moment perfectly!
