Description

"Angry Skies"

It started as a pleasant walk over grassy hills on a sunny day. A horse has gotten loose, but there is little to worry about, it hasn't been gone long and will likely be nearby between a few green hills.

She finds the horse, but it takes a bit longer than expected. The horse has wandered further than she thought. By the time she finds the wayward draft horse the skies have turned. What started as a dark spot on the horizon has turned into a menacing cloud bank.

The wind picks up as thunder heralds the approaching storm. As she leads the horse home, the skies become ever more violent, the wind loud and howling. Lightning forks through the skies. Then, quiet at first, but growing louder comes an ever present roar.

She turns to look, the horse, too, circling gazes back at the source of the sound. As if reaching down with a hand to tear up the earth below it, the dark funnel of a tornado descends. It's as if the sky has grown angry and strikes out at the Earth.

To create this image, I used a variety of software tools for 3D rendering as well as digital painting. My main goal in making this was to create a really wild sky. The woman and the horse I added mostly to show the effects of the wind, but also to look back into the scene along with the you, the viewer and to make you feel a bit more like you are there in the scene with them.

Thanks for looking!
