Serenity Mixed with an Undercurrent of Tension
When I saw this photo taken by Cal Gourley of British Columbia, I knew I had to paint it. The dark blues of the sky implied that a pending storm was on the way, while the foreground represented a serene landscape.
The scene has an atmospheric, almost dramatic feel, with the sky taking up a large portion of the composition, painted in deep shades of blue, purple, and white. The clouds are swirling and dynamic, which suggests a sense of movement or an impending weather change. The path itself is detailed, with a textured, muddy surface that contrasts nicely against the vibrant greenery on either side, where wildflowers or grasses dot the edges.
The scene feels peaceful but suggests something on the verge of transformation.
