"Summer Storm Gathering"


5 x 7 (Plein air)
During our last trip to Lake Weir the summer afternoon storm cycle had started. You have to get going in the morning because you end up getting chased off the lake in the early afternoon. I love the intensity of the lavender sky against the dark olive green of the trees. Its a great match. There is also a bit of drama in painting one of these out under the tin roof at the end of the dock with lightening flashing and thunder rolling. I continually look down at the hairs on my arm to see if they standing straight up. I'm not quite sure what to do if they are standing straight up. Do you run? Or just say a prayer?
