Before Lightning Strikes All Over Print

This painting is inspired by a long walk at the Royal Botanical Gardens with my lady Elena. We spent the better part of the afternoon feeding squirrels and birds and observing nature. As night began to fall we heard heard thunder and rain in the distance, we ran to our car and drove home in a storm. I started painting in this style of abstract after many years of practicing portraits in a traditional style. A very good friend of mine, Omari, passed away very unexpectedly. I needed an outlet to deal with all of the complicated emotions, feelings, and thoughts I was struggling with.
