The storm departs and I'm at peace again Painting

Watching the sun appear from behind the clouds of a summer storm and seeing the light slowly and softly change the muted and dreary colors into warm greens and bright yellows in contrast with deep purple shadows brought a feeling of peace and quiet to me. I had spent the previous month painting a vibrant canvas that changed on a day to day basis as my mind was shifting through emotions and thoughts just as strong and vibrant....it was exhausting being fully immersed in surreal colors and I underestimated how much color controls my moods, dreams, thoughts....I was oversaturated and emotionally spent I thought I needed a long break from painting but then I saw this scene and it healed and inspired me to create again. It was so simple yet so powerful in it's suttle value changes with tiny highlits and deep shadows....it brought me back into a safe space in my mind and once again I started seeing inspiration everywhere, everything has beauty and this painting was the catalyst that would begin a string of some of my favorite work ....in this painting I found peace and quiet and from there good things would grow within me and I hope this painting will inspire peace within you so well ...thank you for looking.
