The storm arrived early yesterday, and after I had arrived at my friend's home, the heavy rain torrents, winds, and tornado warnings all pelted the trees, homes, cars, and whomever was in its way. At home, we had a power outage and today we're threatened by area flooding.
I sat at my friend's table and painted what I heard but couldn't see .... she too lives in a grove of trees, and I was ever grateful for arriving just a few minutes before the worst of the storm. This painting is based partly on a photo reference of storms we've experienced at the Arboretum and my imagination.
I saw a full moon this morning as I drove in, so today's weather should be a bit better. It'll be a late night with meetings and a long drive home. My son returns for his second surgery next week, so again another busy time.
I hope you all stay safe and dry ....!

Lovely storm interrpretation, both capturing their power/darkness and their ethereal quality. I've always been a fan of the wind, and storms bring energy and mystery with them.
