“Weather or Not”

Several artists chose to explore storms and turbulent scenes, suggesting the emotional weather we carry within. John Schisler depicts towering thunderheads, like the heavy burdens of life as they rise dramatically over the marsh, their glowing forms illuminating the sky before they pass, in his oil painting, “Where Thunder Rolls”. In Cindy Beyers pastel, “Wave Swept”, she depicts a weathered lighthouse of Lewes which not only stands steadfast against the harsh waves mother nature throws at her, but are saviors to those sailors lost in the storm. Joyce Condry shows the anger of lightening in her acrylic painting, “Clear the Beach”. We have all experienced the mad dash from the beach when this has occurred. The odd sensation of being in fog is expressed by Laurie Fields in her acrylic painting, “In a Fog”, where not seeing far ahead can bring a sense of mystery and unease, like walking in a place you know but that feels slightly unfamiliar.
