Cottonwool Clouds In The Sky is a stunning large-scale artwork that makes a bold statement, gracefully belonging to the “Exploring the Solitary” series. This piece invites viewers into a vivid Australian landscape, inspired by the poignant beauty of the poem “Carpet of Colour,” which captures the essence of life in arid surroundings.

The poem speaks of resilience in an unforgiving environment:

“The long years are harsh where the hot sun does burn
on the sand hills and plains when seasons won’t turn
where saltbush and samphire do somehow survive
and through these hot days there seems little alive.
But shade in the she-oaks can offer relief
for creatures surviving who still hold belief
the outback’s not dying though is tinder dry …
then cotton-wool clouds start to build in the sky.
And when it gets humid and balmy at night
the sunrise is red with the new dawning light
and leaves get up dancing and float on the breeze
ants start to scurry and thunder does tease.”

Each brushstroke in Cottonwool Clouds In The Sky reflects the delicate dance between life and the dry beauty of the outback, portraying the interplay of light, colour, and airy cloud formations that evoke both a sense of tranquility and a hint of the dynamic forces at work in nature. The soft hues and textured clouds provide an uplifting feeling, reminding us of the subtle beauty that persists in even the harshest environments.

The painting features a seamless continuation of colour along the sides of the canvas, eliminating the need for framing and allowing for a complete immersive experience from every angle, however, framing is available if that is preferred. It is also signed on the front with my name, ‘Lucinda’, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring the integrity and value of your art purchase.
