Storm Over Lake Huron
This 18" x 24" painting in acrylic on canvas was inspired by a walk that I took at the Pinery at the beginning of a storm over Lake Huron. The wind started to blow and the sky became very dramatic with clouds and a dark blue background. As the sun disappeared it reflectected gold iridescent in the shoreline bushes. The long dune grass and the tall pine trees started to swirl and provided a stage for the individual walking along the beach into the storm. I am a landscape artist who enjoys shadows and reflections and the play of light and dark on nature. I am trying to capture the moment as if taking a photo is not enough. The paint provides a visual feast for the eyes. Atmosphere, texture in the foliage, water, climate is my focus.
