Yesterday I taught my second subject at the Academy for Lifelong Learning: abstracts in Nature: STORMY WEATHER. My students are awesome and grabbing the abstracts pretty fast!

"View from our window!"

With this painting I wanted to capture a gloomy atmosphere, the feeling of a threatening storm approaching.
I want the viewer to hear the thunder rumbling and to feel the sense of a looming storm.
There is an intensity of darks, blues and green tones, in which the top and bottom balance each other out.
I like the intensity of the clouds and sky, contrasting the low dark horizon with the rolling hills.

A big "Thank You" to Han Stuster for his advise; he is an awesome Dutch abstract painter, living in Norway with his wife Mette Brjertingstad , also an accomplished artist.
