The ethereal lighting suggests a religious undertone, however instead of an unsubstantiated unseen, this element describes a reverence towards the immensity of nature.
A star, in fact most likely a planet, sits amongst the clouds. This furthers the impression of scale.
In the foreground, a tangled thicket of grass indicates a light breeze. It can also suggest an unsettled emotional state; an emotional state that craves the tranquillity that lies overhead.

Rory Mitchell is a contemporary Norwegian painter. Although his working process relies heavily on a solid draughtsmanship, over the years this has been incorporated in a number of art disciplines, primarily oil painting and gouache painting. His intent is that the distorted lines and emotive colours lend themselves to the narratives he creates.
Today Mitchell works mostly with oil on canvas and creates figurative paintings with rich color palettes and Expressionist undertones.
Rory Mitchell was born in 1977, in Scotland, where he graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art.
