Cloud Busting

Cloudbusting 1

Acrylic on canvas / 100 × 100 cm

£1500

Painted from memory after a school drop-off, Cloudbusting 1 captures a fleeting moment above Swanpool Lake-bright light breaking through shifting cloud, the day still soft with morning.

This piece is part of a series exploring atmosphere, emotion, and landscape from within.

The rhythm of Kate Bush's Cloudbusting played as I worked - its hopeful tension echoing the sky I carried in my mind

Using long-bristled brushes, I worked in sweeping, circular motions-layering paint to build depth and evoke the impression of weather and mood. The gestures are intuitive, aiming to translate memory into atmosphere.

I invite you to linger in the weather of this painting - to let it stir your own recollections of skies and songs and everyday magic.
