Acrylic on canvas 100cm x 100cm

Cloudbusting 1 captures a fleeting moment above Swanpool Lake-bright light breaking through shifting cloud, the day still soft with morning.

This piece is part of a series exploring atmosphere, emotion, and landscape from within.

The rhythm of Kate Bush's Cloudbusting played as I worked —its hopeful tension echoing the sky I carried in my mind

Using long-bristled brushes, I worked in sweeping, circular motions-layering paint to build depth and evoke the impression of weather and mood. The gestures are intuitive, aiming to translate memory into atmosphere.
