This painting features Vibrant Quill as they take in the atmosphere before a summer tropical storm.
This YCH was won by lenorabarkley and was inspired by the kind of intense thunderstorms I get in my sub-tropical climate. The word petrichor refers to the unique smell that is given off when rain hits dirt. It is such a nostalgic and calming scent for me. The background is greatly reflective of the landscape I grew up on, rural and isolating but bewitchingly beautiful! I really enjoyed painting their face, wings and the repeating star motif in this painting.

This is an absolutely gorgeous piece, thank you so much for painting and sharing it!
It amalgamates your bottomless landscape painting experience with your character-portraying talents,
and it is majestic to behold! The petrichor you mentioned (thank you for teaching me the word!)
is a perfect way of describing the feel of the piece, where the character is caught in the open
by the beginnings of the downpour, surrounded by dark thunderheads, but embraces the rain,
because it's been so dry for so long, and both the ground, the plants and the air
could use some rejuvenating showers.
Very dramatic, and even the clothes worn by the character seem to have their textures and shadows
broiling in a chaotic flux, reflecting the churning clouds above.
A fantastic background, too! It could have stood confidently on its own as a landscape drawing,
but it complements the character strongly, and better off as an integral part of this.
Love the rocks, the grass, the powerline!

Thank you, honestly I felt the character design really helped the mood! It's so rare I get to use muted colours in backgrounds but really felt the vibrancy of the figure allowed for it! I really appreciate and look forward to your comments, it makes sharing my work very worthwhile.
