ABOUT THIS PAINTING
This dramatic watercolour depicts a developing storm cloud (nimbus in Latin), moments away from unleashing a deluge of rain, thunder and lightning.
The wash of blues captures the turbulent motion of air parcels (thermals) carrying moisture into the upper reaches of the cumulonimbus at speeds of 100 mph. Hard and soft edges interplay with light and dark, suggesting depth and gaps between individual cloud structures—perhaps rising to heights of 20,000 feet or more.
The painting is presented against a white border and framed in a rich wooden frame, which complements the cool tones of the artwork.
The painting comes with standard 2mm glass, with the option to upgrade to a UV acrylic screen for enhanced protection - learn more
