#278 - Against the Wind

In this coastal ocean painting, a solitary house perches on a rugged, rocky outcrop, framed by an encroaching storm. The sky, with varying shades of deep blue and teal, hints at the brewing tempest, while the wind stirs the tall grasses and churns the once-calm waters. The contrast between the wild grasses in the foreground and the ominous background captures the tense time ahead, evoking anticipation in this raw natural beauty. The brushwork and rich colour palette convey the dynamic energy of the approaching storm, vividly portraying nature’s ever-changing moods. This scene reflects the ever-changing weather and rugged life of Eastern Canada, where the natural landscape is as unpredictable and resilient as the people who call it home.
