About The Artwork
This painting was inspired by an encounter wth the power and danger of a summer storm. My friend and I cycled to a lake in the open countryside of Brandenburg one sweltering, humid afternoon. As we arrived all the locals were hastening away due to an approching storm. We regreted ignoring their example when shortly after the worst electrical storm we´d ever experienced broke over our heads. It continued for about an hour and we didn´t think we´d survive as we sheltered under a small wooden awning on top of a picnic table.It seemed, as I was painting it, an appropriate metaphor for turmoil in life and I think most people can understand the feeling of being in a desparate situation and swimming for a shore that seems so far away. I hope the energy atmosphere of imminent danger comes across throught the colours and vigourous application of oil paint.
