A storms comin settles into the frame like a moment you can feel in your chest before the sky breaks open. This desert isn’t quiet—it’s holding its breath. The land stretches wide in warm rust and ochre, the kind of earth that remembers heat even after the sun slips away. Far-off mountains rise like old guardians, steady against the shifting sky. Above them, the clouds gather in layered blues and grays, rolling in with that unmistakable tension that comes just before a summer storm sweeps across the Southwest.
There’s movement in the brushstrokes, a sense of wind pushing through the scene, stirring up dust and anticipation. It’s the kind of moment you’ve seen out here in New Mexico: the horizon darkening, the air thickening, the world shifting from stillness to wildness in a heartbeat.
This painting captures that threshold perfectly. It’s not about the storm itself—it’s about the promise of it. The electricity. The tension. The beauty of a land that knows how to endure.
“A Storms Comin” is on a 11×14 flat backed canvas, in cobra water mixable oils, sealed and framed in a 16×20 frame
