The theme of the January challenge of 'Goed Gezien - Goed Bekeken' is taken from a book by one of the members: "Bliksem" or Lightning in English.
What do we do nowadays when there is a thunderstorm? Do we look at the lightning or do we hide in fear?
This does not inspire me, so I looked a bit further. What does it look like after the lightning?
In our country we can still find oak trees standing alone in a field and these are in danger of being struck by lightning. Sometimes a tree survives and we can see the damage. More often the tree is killed by the lightning and cleared away before the remains can bring danger to people passing by.
Based on the silhouette of an oak tree in winter I imagined one side to be broken and fallen to the ground while the other side is still alive. The time is set in the end of Autumn, some leaves have not fallen yet.
The information about the materials I have used, the size of this painting and its availability can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
