We were painting on the island in a lovely park overlooking the marshes. The sky started to turn black so we packed up and headed out. Along the way, we stopped at this little bay beach to see if would be a place to paint in the future. The wind was getting to the next level, so we only had time to take a few photos. Back in the car, and only a few minutes later, the heavens opened up and thunder started. This was painted from one of those photos in my studio.
