Rain!

Rain, oil on canvas, 50x70

There was this amazing piece of music/chorus, where a choir started out imitating the sound of rain coming nearer, turning in to a veritable thunderstorm, and then fading out again! I think it was originally an add, but nevertheless brilliant.

One of my friends suggested it would be really difficult to paint this, and of course I took up the 'torch' and tried. After some trial and error, I believe the painting is now done. I'll definitely advice against using a 'brownish-reddish' as a base color, bc it's really hard to avoid it being just boring!!!

Der var dette fantastiske stykke musik/kor, hvor et kor startede ud med at imitere lyden af regnen, der kommer nærmere, så udvikle sig til et heftigt tordenvejr, og så forsvinde langsomt igen. Jeg tror, det oprindeligt var til en reklame, men ikke desto mindre er det brilliant. En af vennerne foreslog så, at det måtte være meget svært at male det, og selvfølgelig måtte jeg da tage udfordringen op. Efter nogle 'trial and error' mener jeg, at maleriet nu er færdigt. Jeg vil stærkt advare mod at bruge en 'brunlig-rødlig' farve som grund, fordi det er virkeligt svært at undgå, det bliver kedeligt!!!
