This has been a week of major upheval – and I spent it trying to work this painting out. Its from a photo of one of the countless staggeringly gorgeous sunsets I beheld at the lake this summer. I liked that the flat lake reflected the rosy sunset, but the waves were angles such as to reflect the blue dome of the sky. Blue and orange are complementary colours (opposites) so that creates a dynamic – as does the contrast between the clearer sky & sunset on the left and the storm clouds in tumultuous light on the right.
