violent storm is coming

 HELLO!

Today I would like to show a new work which is a part of series Wild Fantasy. In the previous years I made pieces like Green dress, fantasia amalfitana and there is a fire in my heart. They are the black-and-white pictures with a colourful accent, made with pens, showing ladies in coloured clothing with animals as companions. 

The main inspiration for each of those works was a doodle.

This kind of design was giving me no peace. I felt strong urge to draw a lady clothed in a stripped dress with horizontal strips. I've envisioned this dress in violet and black colours.

I was wondering for a while about a composition of my future work. And I don't even remember when an idea of the witch in stripped dress flying on the broom came to my mind. But I liked this idea. This vision fits quite good with the Halloween vibes, too.

I felt that for a background I should pick one of the gothic buildings. I decided to search through gothic buildings (especially churches) in the United Kingdom (don't know why the UK, this choice was intuitive). Finally I chose the Peterborough Cathedral, and I only focused on one of the facade's towers (a huge help was a photo from iStock). 

So our witch's flying around the gothic building but around her 3 barn swallows are flying. I was thinking about drawing crows, ravens or albatrosses but I dropped this idea.

In the end I added a large, dark cloud in the right upper corner of work.

violent storm is coming, pens on paper, 21 x 14,8 cm.

I used a pun in the title (You only need to remove "n"). The inspiration for this cloud was the presence of swallows. It was a small reference to saying that if swallows are flying low, it's a forerunner of the rain.

That's all.

Have a Nice Day! 💜
