Three Windmills

"Three Windmills"
Acyrilic on Canvas
approx. 30 x 22cm
This one was done quite quickly. It didn't take very much observation, and there's not much attention to detail. I simply slapped on paint in a haphazard way to create the impression of a stormy sky. On its own it looks pretty rubbish, but add in a horizontal ground and some silouettes of vertical, angular windmills for contrast, and everything fits into place nicely. This wasn't supossed to have any meaning, but when I look at it now, it does kinda have the same theme as my other storm painting, although this time its more about mans dependancy on nature, rather than the threat from it. Both times there has been big visual contrasts between the man-made objects and nature, so it's perfect to use as symbols.
