"Landfall" – Capturing the Chaos of a Storm in Paint
Trying to capture a storm’s essence can be chaotic. I’ve been battling this overpriced BMF-650 sable blend brush (aka “expensive mistake maker”), trying to pin down the perfect turbulence effect with a tube of Prussian Blue that cost more than my weekly coffee budget. Just when I thought I had it, my easel decided to tumbling thirty feet down rocky terrain. Good thing I didn’t skip the extra thick varnish. The composition took a hit, but sometimes the best art comes from unexpected disasters—or in this case, not-so-happy tumbles. Storm painting is like that: nature’s chaos meets artistic chaos, where the paint does weird things, and you just roll with it.
“Winter Harvest”: Painting the Wind’
Nature is never finished. When I paint the fields, I'm chasing a moment that's already gone. The way the wind sculpted the clouds and drove the crops into patterns like waves. Some people see landscapes as peaceful, but I see them as alive. They are always shifting, always breathing. Winter Harvest is about motion, not stillness. I paint the wind by painting what it moves. The field crops dancing below, the thunderheads building above, the clouds rolling like ocean swells.
