CLAUDIA RICHARDS

"Hurricane Season"
Acrylic on Canvas

Fear is a huge orange shape rotating on a blue background, headed for the Keys. Fear motivates preparation, which then calms the fear. A storm is a beautifully powerful thing, wind and rain and water. Purifying and liquid.
The orange shape disappeared behind the flow of water, behind the sheets of rain, behind the dance of the trees, the smell of shredded leaves, the towering clouds.

Cleansing, however disruptive and difficult, promotes change and growth. I painted through it all.
