‘Smoke in the Sky’, watercolour on paper, 25.5x20.5 cm/ 10x8 inches.

I exaggerated the appearance of this piece, partly due to the nature of painting in watercolours where yellow and blue if they touch will of course turn green, and partly because I wanted to enjoy the added intensity of colour that separation of the yellow clouds and the blue sky would bring. The cloud in the landscape that inspired this was golden and lit from below with a delicate vibrancy and glow that I could spend forever trying to replicate. It appeared like an ethereal column in the sky, as bizarre as it was beautiful.

I have taken every effort to depict my work accurately in these images in different lights, however variation from photograph to reality is often unavoidable - generally with the original looking brighter and clearer than photographs depict. If you are concerned about colour variation I would advise looking at images carefully across different devices before purchasing.
