Composite paintings come from multiple photographs, ideas, and imagination. This is one of those special works that have culminated from multiple sources from memory.
Having grown up by a pond and river in Massachusetts, I have the benefit of visual memories from a vast array of unique seasonal moments. This piece describes the dissipation of clouds after rain has fallen as the glow of a sunset boldly takes center stage. The colors in the sky are like a brilliant rainbow that has been dipped and brushed across the whole expanse of the sky by an artist's brush. The lush greens of the landscape set a tone of midsummer. Glimmers of wet, glowing color reflect on the river. This theme can also be a symbol of transformation or metamorphosis.
