This is my painting, "Front Range Thunderstorm" as it looked on January 5, 2022, when I used acrylics to paint into the shapes of clouds, sky, and mountains that I had formed with pasted tissue paper. I use the paint to smooth out the shapes and adjust the colors. I often mix the paint with acrylic medium, which adds another transparent acrylic layer that acts like a glue. I am working from a photo that I took in 2006 during a thunderstorm in Colorado Springs.* But even though I am painting a rainstorm, I decided to include the sun peeking through the clouds, as it often does during those fast-moving late afternoon thunderstorms in Colorado.
