Original Creation

The wind begun to rock the palm

Sunnylady 28 Apr 2023

After my sweet doggy painting I was exhausted and needed an easy one.

Inspiration from AI drawn painting.

So pretty.

Very nice

OHhhhh - very nice.

Thank you so very much guys!

Looks nice. Good work!

Thanks Tom!

Looks great Sunnylady, just like a tropical storm blowing up. Cheers

Yay Dave. I was thinking about hurricane seasons in Caribbean when painted.

@Dave, after few days looking at it closely I need to lighten up the sky and bring more phtalo blue in without muting it. I hope it will work to create more drama.

You could darken the existing rain and extend the storm front into the distance with more cloud behind the rain with more distant and lighter (?) rain beyond and visually below that extending further to the right into the painting. Just a thought. Cheers

@Dave - I am thinking to lighten up the sky that is still seen, in reality it darkened quite a bit. and potentially to change angle of rain and move it closer to the viewer... Will see how it works. Rain is a trouble here and I could not resolve it and also i want drop horizon line lower than it is now.

I will not be able to get my hands on it for few weeks as weekends are gonna be busy.

@Dave - thanks for proving that my thought process is right!

@Dave - I did some fixes. I lightened the sky, some messing up with the rain and clouds and palm as well. Photo does not show that sky is lighter though.,.

The ominous dark clouds are gathering overhead - making the scene look more threatening. You have made some great adjustments. Looks great.

Thanks Dave for your ideas!
