One way, or Another: The Field's Banquet

 

 When a truly massive cloud rolls in, ready to release its load of water, we humans tend to run for cover. We may be warned ahead of time by distant thunder, knowing that we do not want to be in a lightning strike area, but I love to watch a good thunderstorm, the energy is palpable and enthralling. When the area has been hot and dry for awhile the rain leaves a particular scent, the sweet smell of wet soil. I imagine I can feel the relief of the plants, the soil and all the other small forms of life that are replenished by the storm. What spells danger for us is truly the "Field's Banquet".

another gorgeous painting!! you are amazingly fast!!

when i was a child we would have to go down to the basement during bad storms as tornadoes could whip up pretty fast, but my father always stayed upstairs, planted at the front of the garage watching the storms approach.

Thanks Kathryn,
Your dad is obviously a brave man! Not sure I would do that if we had tornado's in this area. Hope those experiences didn't make you afraid of regular thunder storms!
Cheers,
Laura
