“Under The Hot Summer Sky” is an oil painting that captures the essence of an Australian summer. The canvas is dominated by a deep teal sky, its rich hues suggesting an impending storm. The intense colors evoke a sense of anticipation, as if nature is holding its breath before the tempest.
In the foreground, a twisted gum tree stands resilient against the strong winds, its gnarled branches reaching out like arms inviting the storm. The tree’s tones contrast beautifully with the cooler sky. Its foliage, sparse and rugged, hints at the harsh conditions of the season.
Beneath the tree, a vast plain of tinder dry grass stretches outwards, its golden-brown hues reflecting the relentless sun. The grass appears sun-bleached and brittle, a testament to the scorching Australian heat. Subtle strokes of burnt ochre and sandy beige capture the dry earth, enhancing the desolate beauty of the scene.
Overall, the painting melds vibrant colors and dynamic forms to convey the drama of nature. The threatening sky, resilient tree, and parched landscape together tell a story of survival and the raw power of the Australian environment, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the feeling of an approaching summer storm.
Although the paint continues around the sides of the canvas, the piece is framed in a hand made oak floating frame and the painting is signed on the front with my name ‘Lucinda’, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
