Thunderclouds over the Marsh

Piece description from the artist

Thunderclouds Over the Marsh is a dramatic exploration of light and atmosphere. This square-format painting focuses on the towering, billowing cumulus clouds that gather over the coastline, glowing with luminous shades of lavender, periwinkle, and soft pink-orange. Light bounces off every angle of the clouds and is reflected below. The marsh grasses in vibrant olive and spring green stand in quiet contrast to the mirror-like reflections in the tidal water

Luminous Clouds: April hand-paints thick, sculptural oil impasto onto the thunderheads, allowing the lavender and pink-orange light to literally catch the sun in your room.

Reflective Depth: The "glassy" water reflections are enhanced with bespoke glazes, recreating the liquid shimmer that occurs just before the rain begins to fall.

About April Moffatt

Summerville, SC

April is heavily influenced by the classical impressionists but strives to bring about elements of expressionism as well into her paintings. She uses color fearlessly and is always striving to "capture the light". April wants her paintings to invoke the feelings of her subjects and especially the wild feelings of being out of doors surrounded by the beauty of nature.
