Stormy Seas

In the current "economic storm" we find ourselves, doom and gloom abound. This scene depicts how I felt one particular day ... being tossed to and fro by the economic winds of the storm, yet confident enough to feel steady at the helm! In many life situations, there are many things we can learn from storms that we simply cannot learn from calm seas.

I used an impressionistic approach, limiting my pallet, brushes and time (I even set the timer to make sure I didn't get caught up in too many details!) It was a very insightful experience for me and helped me "loosen up" a bit. Acrylic on canvas (20"x 10")
