Title:
Winter Sky Panes
Materials:
Digital Painting
Description:
Where I live the cloud cover is so uniform in winter that the sky looks like it is standing still — like it has stopped breathing — as it waits for the rare days when the sun breaks in. When I look upwards at the sky framed through a tree, the twigs look like spiderwebs, as if the tree has spun delicate lines in the sky hoping to catch the light. This is a painting of the different colors of the winter sky that I saw through the tree; both the grey skies and the inbreaks of light.
