Storm over Red Deer Lake

















oil on board 10*12
We have had a ton of storms this year they seem to come from different directions
two or three at a time. This one came over our head and I was ready for it.
I was going to paint a scene to the right of this but it lacked punch or interest
so I turn to the left and this was more interesting to paint.
I was afraid that the rain would wash the painting off of the board and corrupt the paint
but it didnt rain on us luckily I just got these massive dark cloud structures.
I had little time to catch this scene so I had to remember some of it
but I captured the essence before it moved on.
