Description
It was February 2021, the second Covid 19 lockdown and people were venturing out to open spaces for brief respite. Walking back from Chesterton Windmill, I photographed an unusual group of clouds against the sun. The result was a dramatic skyscape with the windmill and visitors in semi-darkness.
As I now see the painting, it seems to depict man’s relationship with the elements; the dwarfed people are firmly rooted on the ground. The bold, now obsolete, windmill with its sails reaching towards the sky celebrates man’s achievements; the ever-changing clouds and sunshine have the overriding power to decide man’s fate or fortune.
