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.
