“The Approaching Storm”. 18 x 24” / Oil Pastels, Watercolor on Strathmore Acid-Free watercolor paper. 
 
The sky is changing colors, the temperature is fluctuating, and something strange is in the air.        It feels possitively  ELECTRIC!   
What does it feel like to have something as big as a storm come barrelling down on you from the far off distance, catching up to you in scant minutes?!    What kind of ‘storm’ IS this?       An electrical storm, a rain-filled thunderstorm?       How far must you go, and how fast must you run to outrun a storm, as it turns the sky red and purple, and your ears begin to pop!   Where do we go when the sky comes after us, and we become prey to the elements!?     
Or is ALL that just a matter of your state-of-mind!?
       A ‘storm’ is any number of things within us, deep within us, enveloping us physically, as in the EARTHs’ physicality…or emotionally-mentally enveloping us from the inside out.     It is the cloud emanating from us, interacting with any life-forms in close proximity, as~ we are the approaching storm.
