Rainbow 1968

"Rainbow" (1968) by Ralph Goings (1928-present) is a photorealistic painting that captures the essence of a classic natural phenomenon. The image depicts a vibrant rainbow emerging from a dark, swirling cloud, with raindrops falling from a pale blue sky above. Goings' meticulous attention to detail, reminiscent of the Photorealism movement, creates an almost photographic illusion, blurring the lines between reality and representation. The painting's striking use of color and light evokes a sense of wonder and awe, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty and mystery of the natural world.
