Storm Spiral Reflected in an Autumn River Bend
autumn river · impressionist oil · storm reflection · copper foliage
Depict a swirling storm above an autumn river bend in a 3:2 landscape painting for a wide gallery print. View the scene from a raised wooded bank, with copper leaves close to the bottom edge and the river forming an open curve through the middle distance. Position the cloud spiral beyond the bend, its cool gray bands reflected in broken streaks on the water. Use loose impressionist oil strokes, alternating warm foliage dabs with broad atmospheric passages. A shaft of late sunlight touches one riverside tree, creating a modest focal counterpoint to the storm. Preserve clear depth and natural proportions, with no boats, people, or text.
