Storm Rolling In
The artwork presents a dramatic and vividly textured landscape divided into two distinct sections. The lower portion features a golden-yellow field, marked with scattered, irregular patches of lighter and darker tones, suggesting a fertile terrain bathed in soft light. A subtle path or furrow runs through this canola field, adding depth and perspective. Above the field, the sky dominates the composition with sweeping, intense hues of deep blues, purples, and whites. The clouds are dynamic and turbulent, rendered with a wispy, almost ethereal quality, conveying movement and energy. The contrast between the bright, warm earth and the cool, tumultuous sky creates a striking visual tension, evoking a powerful atmospheric moment.
This piece was one of 23 felted artworks in Vicki’s three-month solo exhibition at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.
