Electric Tempest Over Big Bend measures 12 by 14 inches and is executed in watercolor and gouache on textured, rough-edged paper. The work captures a storm sweeping over the Big Bend region, with sharp lightning cutting through clouds in layered purples, blues, and greens. A dark mountain range anchors the middle ground, its rugged forms standing in stark contrast to the turbulent sky. Below, a dense green landscape stretches out, interrupted by subtle vegetation and a small pool reflecting the storm’s shifting colors. The textured paper enhances the piece’s energy, emphasizing the volatile atmosphere shaped by recent heavy rains and flooding in the area. The composition focuses on the interplay between natural forces and landscape, conveying both tension and movement with clarity and precision.
