Paint Party Friday - Tornado

For Paint Party Friday, this acrylic ACEO is entitled 'Tornado', what else? I saw a photo in the newspaper of this tornado that touched down in Kansas recently. The photo was credited to 'Orlin Wagner/AP' and I couldn't resist painting its simple lines!

Nice. Odd you show a yellow sky. Was the sun shining?

You manage to convey such strength with such simplicity... The mark of a true artist. I love seeing your creations from week to week.

Lovely idea to paint the tornado! Have a great day, Valerie

Now this is a scary thought! I can't believe we've even had mini tornadoes here in Hawaii!

Thanks so much for continuing to visit and comment even when I was away, Christine. My life is so crazy these days with finishing my blog posts, getting ready for my daughter's visit and working on the travel photo album for my mom. Sigh.... I should be back to normal by June. I hope.

You did a great job Christine! I love the simple lines too..

Christine said...

Oh Molly, thank you, such a sweet compliment!

Gigi it may have been a slightly darker yellow sky from the photo, but yellow enough! Nature does what it wants!

Nice to hear from you Kay!

Thanks Valerie, and Icy!

Lovely painting with all the strength and force seen in a tornado, Christine. That's as close as I want to get to one. Faye

So simple, so true. The sky goes a greenish yellow when a tornado is possible and the sky just angry! Nice depiction, Christine.

Yes, you definitely got the shape and the color of the sky right. Maybe your painting will be a good luck charm, and we'll be done with these for the year.
