“Rainy Day, Dream Away” is an acrylic on canvas painting 70cmsW x100cmsH x3.5cmsD. The painting continues the series of land, sea and sky. It takes its name from a Jimi Hendrix composition of the same name. The painting is inspired by the early morning light and the dramatic colour seen in the coastal skies where I live. I walk every day along the Sefton coastline so I see all the changes that the seasons bring and the most dramatic changes I see are in the coastal skies. Please see the photographs that document this inspirational setting. This painting intends to capture the atmosphere of a rainy morning just as dawn is breaking. The clouds are heavy. Shafts of light pierce the sky cascading onto the wet beach reflecting the glowing light. This isn’t a literal painting. It doesn’t attempt to replicate a ‘scene’, but it does try to capture the atmosphere of an open coastal landscape. I look to artists such as Barbara Rae, Turner, the Fauvists and Monet and the Post-Impressionists for inspiration.
