ABOUT THIS PAINTING
This watercolour is all about capturing the moment—a sudden downpour striking a group of people in the midst of their busy day. Though caught in the storm, they appear somewhat prepared, clutching their umbrellas as they hurry through the rain.
The palette of Payne's grey, with hints of violet and umber, perfectly conveys a moody, urban atmosphere. Loose brushstrokes and splatters of white, created using fluid techniques rather than white paint, enhance the the relentless energy of the pouring rain.
The painting is elegantly showcased with an off-white border, set within a high-quality solid wood frame finished in matt black.
