There is nothing like a threatening stormy sky to capture the eye of an artist. This one certainly got me enthralled, so I painted it. Along with the wide open space of this beautiful countryside, the colour contrasts of this sky needed to be represented on canvas for perpetuity. This is such a picturesque part of mid- west NSW, still a little dry at the time from drought but I’m sure it looks lush now. I have painted it in panoramic form to bring the eye across the horizon.
