Still, We Look Up
Oil on canvas, 24 x 36 inches
In this vertical storm study, dense cloud mass rises through shadow and ember-lit sky, fractured by shafts of light that widen as they ascend. The composition pulls the eye upward, echoing the human instinct to look toward light even when surrounded by weight.
Balancing atmospheric abstraction with structural realism, this painting explores resilience through scale — the tension between what towers above us and the quiet strength required to stand beneath it.
Layered ultramarines, deep charcoal, and incandescent orange create a cathedral-like architecture of weather, where turbulence becomes illumination.
This original oil painting is part of the Storm Collection — a body of work exploring rupture, renewal, and the emotional landscape of sky.
Special thanks to storm chaser and friend, Adam Jackson, for allowing me to use his photograph for inspiration for this painting.
Overcoming
Oil on canvas | 24 x 36 inches
In Overcoming, dense storm mass gives way to rising illumination. Vertical movement dominates the composition, with layered charcoal and ultramarine clouds fractured by fire-lit light that pushes upward through weight and shadow.
Balancing atmospheric abstraction with structural realism, this painting explores the moment tension shifts — when pressure becomes lift, and darkness becomes architecture for light.
Part of the Storm Collection, Overcoming reflects Janine Crum’s ongoing exploration of resilience, scale, and the emotional landscape of weather.

Oil on canvas | 12 x 16 inches
In Striking Jade, a single lightning bolt fractures a dense teal sky, illuminating layers of atmospheric depth and shadow. The composition is restrained yet electric — a study in tension, stillness, and sudden release.
Rich ultramarine and jade tones create a saturated field of color, while the vertical strike introduces sharp movement against the surrounding calm. This original oil painting captures the quiet charge before impact — the precise moment sky becomes kinetic.
Part of the Storm Collection, Striking Jade explores contrast: minimal gesture against expansive atmosphere, energy contained within stillness.
