Storm approaching
“Storm Approaching”, pastel on board
Watching storms approach the coast fills me with a sense of quiet alarm, knowing that something wild and fierce will be upon us soon. Apprehension turns to delight as I race the storm front home, just making it through the front door as the first fat raindrops strike. Then it’s a cosy feeling of safe snugness as I settle in with a mug of something hot, watching sheets of rain batter against my window.
Wishing you all a cosy weekend ahead!

Brilliant work. I love the patch of regular sky vs storm clouds. I tried pastel at one stage but obviously there is a special technique because your stuff is amazing and my stuff, well it was more like powder smeared on a board lol
Cindy, it’s such a delight to follow your process through a painting
thanks for sharing it
This is stunning Cindy – and loved seeing the progress shots too – fabulous!!!
Love this piece, you really captured that breathless feeling of approaching storm clouds. Seeing how you develop a painting is always fascinating to me.
OMGosh! I love the contrast of the blue of the storm and the blue of the sea…and then the light sand. This is beautiful!!
Very beautiful Cindy and interesting to see the step by step progress. What kind of pastels do you use? I know nothing about them but love seeing your work and that of your students.
Not only an artist but a writer too.
Thank you all – I’ll be out there with the camera late tomorrow when a major storm system hits the coast. Maybe.
love it love it! you were in the same theme as me with the storm stuff if you saw my lost at sea piece that i recently did..it takes some summing up to conjure that feeling and put that feeling onto canvas, you have done well to achieve that
