Smoky Blow

This is a rendition of a smoky sky that I have attempted using alcohol ink artworks. As an artist who draws inspiration from my travels, this artwork resonates with one of my favourite travel stories. It is from a time when we were cruising through the scenic savannah of South Africa and we witnessed the sunset in the landscape. It was at this time that I saw a sunset unlike any before as the sunsets I'm accustomed to seeing are often a mix of purple-pink hues. This one by contrast had a myriad of burnt oranges, browns and golden tones that immediately stood out to me. That is when the inspiration behind this artwork was born. The scattered black hues in this artwork are reminiscent of the scattered trees and shrubs from that day. This artwork is sure to bring depth and intensity to any room that it is added to and is sure to catch the eye of passers-by. It can be hung or placed per your liking in either direction as each side shows a different unique perspective to the piece.
