Original artwork description:

Force of habit and force of nature. Tempête Brillante evolved from a photo of stormy sky over a beach. The habit is where I paint the essence of the image and then depart from it at a point where the final product resembles less of the inspiration and more of my imagination. There’s a great infusion of scrub vegetation on the dune, and the storm and the shrubs speak to each other in wild sparks. I created this visual energy just like earth spins up an ozone draft in response to the change in atmospheric pressure; the scent of an impending tempest. It’s also common for me is when I to think the title of the painting doesn’t sound enough like the painting looks. There’s a gracefulness in the violence of a storm as it roils together as only air and light can… the way brilliant tempest sounds as we speak it en français.

Tempête Brillante arrives prewired, ready to hang. Her deep 1-1/2” museum mount edges are painted as 3D extensions of the main image, and she is not framed.
