Gathering Thunder, 2021
Painting
24" H x 32" W
$8,500
"Gathering Thunder" is an exploration of atmosphere and tension. I took a model up into the wild Yorkshire countryside, and was exhilarated by the stormy light and the bleakness of the landscape. I knew I had to try and capture the charge of this pre-storm atmosphere in a painting. This is the result: a painting which not only depicts the landscape and the wind, but which explores the intensity of my own emotional response to that atmosphere, expressed by the figure's searing gaze.
