This should be quite a dramatic painting. The only strong patch of light is the orange cornfield in the bottom left. There are a lot of strong contrasts in the top level of the cloud layer but underneath its quite threatening and stormy. I thought there wouldn’t be enough information in the dark landscape but it is all there and just adds to the brooding atmosphere. There is also a very strange grey green mist in the far valleys.
Cartington, cloudburst. Day 1
