After The Rain

$850.00

Oil painting of translucent water lapping a rocky shoreline, each stone rendered with tactile brushwork and subtle reflections. The water is clear enough to reveal pebbles beneath the surface — greens and aquamarines shifting to deeper blues where depth increases — with delicate highlights capturing transient sunlight. Along the shore, a meadow of grasses leans in the breeze, painted in layered strokes of yellow green, and sunlit yellow accents.

Beyond the meadow rises a lush woodland: layered foliage created with a mix of impasto and glazing to convey depth and texture. Cooler, shadowed greens sit beneath warm highlights where late light finds the canopy edges. Behind the treeline, passing storm clouds wheel across the sky — brooding, sculpted masses of pewter & indigo, with streaks of luminous silver where sunlight breaks through. The overall palette balances vivid natural color with atmospheric contrast, evoking both calm and the charged energy of a passing storm.

Compositionally, the foreground stones and meadow lead the eye toward the middle ground woodland and then up to the dramatic sky, creating layered depth. Use a mix of wet-on-wet for seamless water transitions and wet-on-dry for crisp stone and grass detail. Emphasized texture in the rocks and trees keep the foliage lively with tight brush strokes. Aim for a mood that’s contemplative yet dynamic — the hush of the shore interrupted by the low, moving weight of storm clouds.
