Aproaching Storm

This is another painting that had a John Karl Claes painting as its genesis for an idea. The painting by Claes is a wonderful landscape with a straight canal dividing the painting. "Split" is the title of the original idea.

I gave it quite a different treatment. So much so that when one person saw this they thought they were looking up at a tall building on fire. Who knows...but that is something I really enjoy when someone sees something totally different that what I actually painted. The colors of course are different as I worked with mostly all warm colours.
