Blue storm clouds building Painting

The colour blue, the African sky and high-veld storms are the inspiration for this Storm clouds building painting. Blue because the sky is blue and blue is a trusting calming colour, although a storm is everything but calming! The sky is an inspiration because to me it is where we will always look for hope. Hope in the form of clouds as a promise of rain and in a spiritual way, looking up to the heavens. The “Storm Clouds” are made up of abstract forms and lines that also take the form of a type of map, a map of things organic and foreign (to a sky). Who knows, one day, forms as odd as these could fill the sky. For now, they are my “storm cloud composition” and these lines and forms are similar to or represent the maps that we have cut, drawn and built on the earth’s surface through roads, buildings, mines and industry. The composition To the right of the composition is a representation of the “Big Hole” in Kimberley and a few of the surrounding roads. The mine and mines similar to the Kimberley hole are a permanent reminder to us of how we are changing the earth’s surface and environment. This is obviously detrimental to our future and while technology and mankind must develop and grow, we need to do it in ways that preserve our environments. The mountain range at the bottom of the composition gives the feeling of importance or greater significance to the “clouds” or forms above. To me, the painting is a landscape, not in the traditional sense but more in the sense of a dreamlike landscape. A storm is building, a disaster is building, we can change and we need to change to weather the storm. I hope that this storm clouds building painting will, for you the viewer, have a calming enjoyable effect but at the same time be a reminder that we have a responsibility to our environment.
