Veldstorm
Acrylic on Canvas 120×40cm
I love the way the sky darkens over african plains just before an afternoon storm. The sky goes dark and the land still reflects the sun’s rays. When it rains while the sun shines we call it a “Monkeys Wedding”.
As simple as it appears, this is a painting from my soul.
