Artwork Description

Storm Warning

0.0 x 0.0

10x59ins. Oil on canvas. When I moved from Toronto to Vancouver in 2000 I decided to drive as it was good opportunity to see some of Canada's vast geography. This painting is of the prairies, a flat land of wheat fields stretching across three provinces. I composed the painting from many of my photos and some sketches I made of that journey, to reflect a typical rural image. The stubble fields, freight train, grain elevators, flat landscape and straight roads. My emphasis is on the sky and the fast changing weather. There is feeling of apprehension for the viewer, in the role of car driver, as a distant storm approaches.
