• This painting is the first really abstract image in this series.
• My intent is to convey a feeling, an impression, rather than present a realistic image.
• The paint at the top was applied heavily and forcefully with a palette knife.
• The driving rain and violence of the storm were indicated by scraping with the sharp edge of the knife.
• The paint covering the bottom half of this work was applied and smoothed with a soft, sable brush.
• There is a strong contrast between the impression of violent action at the top and soft, peacefulness at the bottom.
