Storm Forming Out In The Gulf

During the hot muggy months ( June thru Oct ) most every afternoon rains storms roll in from the Gulf Of Mexico - sometimes they last 10 minutes and other times an hour or more & they can drop upwards to 2 inches per hour - a very wet semi-tropical atmosphere in this area.

Went to the beach the other morning and around noon time one of these rain events started rolling in from the Gulf - took some photos and we left for home.

16 x 20 on heavy linen paper - Chroma Interactive acrylics - large brushes - spontaneity and gusto - with perhaps some slight exaggeration for drama :>)
