Sky Work

Sky Embers was inspired by an  artist’s residency at Wiawaka on Lake George. It was July, hot and dry. We all longed for a storm that never came. My original painting, on paper, envisioned a sky full of threat and power. Wishful thinking.
When I got back to my studio  I painted a larger version on canvas.
This time I  wanted the sky to seem on fire, but ready to deliver the much desired storm.
