Storm Front by Chris James Cooper, Image 1.
Killarney Park was one of Chris’s favourite places — a regular camping and canoeing trip, where he’d sketch and paint in watercolour on site, and take photographs to bring home for later. Storm Front grew out of that practice: a moment of weather caught in the park, worked up afterward into this larger oil on canvas. At 38 x 56 inches, it’s one of his bigger pieces — the scale giving the approaching storm room to build across the canvas. Oil on canvas, 2008.
