"Storm Brewing"


Many a spectacular scene does the beach hold in Naples, Florida. This picture I've held onto for sometime feeling that someday I'd like a go at painting it. The clouds were obviously tremendous - but it was the intense contrast of the green sea against that dark distant sky that captivated me. And so I left the beach empty in this scene so that the viewer could focus on the foreboding storm.

The painting is 6 x 12" and completed with acrylics on paper.
