Phew - just got back from a walk in the park with Merice and Bonnie. It sure was blowy! Apparently we are receiving the tail end of a hurricane that has made its way across the Atlantic Ocean to give us a quick blast before visiting mainland Europe. All I can say is that if this is the 'tail end' then I certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of its full power. Painting the elements can be an exciting challenge. "Wet Road in Woldgate" is an attempt to capture that brief interlude between heavy showers when the sun temporarily bursts through the clouds and we get this blinding light reflected on the road. But you can see how heavy the sky is - this is only a temporary reprieve and the rain will soon be back. I used fairly subdued tones to portray the wetness of the scene and treated the road almost as if it was a stream so I could let the reflections run down the paper. This painting will be on show at Bridlington Spa from the 27th October as part of our 'Double Vision' Exhibition.
