"Summer Storm"


This little 6x8" painting was done from the back of my car (squished in with my good friend and fellow artist Gaye Adams) in the middle of a wild thunderstorm, lightning flashing, thunder cracking, hail bouncing off our feet and palettes that were not quite protected by the open hatchback. This piece was done in about 45 minutes, amazing how fast you paint with the energy of a storm driving you! By far one of the most exciting plein air experiences I have ever had.
