Am working on a painting that really has me excited, hoping it will come out good. A landscape.
It is dominated by a huge, menacing, out of control thunderhead, with clouds twisting into unnatural shapes, but still retaining the classical anvil configuration. Underneath in the distance, but dwarfed by the storm, is a tiny city with tall buildings, a shining golden city on a hill. I have Manhattan in mind, surrounded by swamps, and getting hit by rain in places. A train going into a tunnel, heading in.
Meanwhile, in front of the city are great forests, seriously on fire in places, with lots of smoke going right up into the thunderhead. Fighter jets streaking overhead, though I believe I'll make those rather abstract.
I think it's going to come out good, give me a few weeks to finish her.
