My Painting of New Mexico stormy skies
The topography in New Mexico is such that in some places the rise of the land allows you to see a 100 miles or more so when storms travel through you can see the thunderclouds that are very far away. So you can see rain falling far away, bright sunshine on the tops of cumulonimbus clouds as well as the very dark undersides, the color of the sky, the lowering of the dark clouds overhead, and lightning strikes in the far distance.
Acrylic on canvas - 24” x 36”

It actually reminds me of parts of Kansas that I describe as beautiful in their desolation, where you can just see for miles across fields.
Do you make prints of your work, or is this more a private hobby?
