blue, blue, electric blue

Illustration Friday: Electricity
electricity

The IF topic this week was more interesting than recently, I think, and I had all these ideas, yet none really turned on the lightbulb, you know? Then I realised that all things in nature resemble each other, and if you had to describe the shape of electricity, frozen electricity, hardened into a solid object, it wouldn’t look a million miles from a bare tree. A Van de Graaf tree. Or, for that, the patterns of a river delta seen from the air. Or the capillaries underneath the skin.

Or maybe I’m barking up the wrong pylon?

    You are absolutely right about the shape of solid lightning, I never thought of it before though I think it would be more like capillaries. Very good work, very well done.

    Huh! That’s a really beautiful theory you’ve come up with there. I reckon you could base a whole body of art on that idea. VERY impressive. And beautifully drawn. I love the clean white of the tree against that crisp blue.
