Destin: Between Storms

My family has visited Destin, FL every summer since I was a child and I've always been amazed at how fast storms come and go in that area. A storm can come out of nowhere during the middle of a bright and sunny day, and disappear just as quickly as it came about. What was once a dark and windy scene has now changed back into a beautiful day. I painted this scene with that idea in mind: the idea of a fleeting moment in time - A scene which will be unrecognizable in a few minutes.

Looking closely in the background over the water, there's the slight hint of an oncoming shower. I've also suggested the foreground with simple splatters of paint: a kind of foreshadowing of events to come.
