About This Painting

Meadow Under Storm captures that fleeting tension between light and cloud that often unfolds across the Fraser Valley. On her drives east from South Surrey, the artist often watches how the weather drifts inland — soft grey clouds gathering above rolling fields, where the light still lingers on the grass below.

In this painting, a lone figure stands within a vast, green meadow as the hillside darkens toward the sky. The contrast between luminous field and deep cloud evokes both solitude and wonder — that feeling when nature seems immense yet familiar. The greens shift with the light, echoing the quiet vitality of the valley after rain.

This work is less about the storm itself and more about the calm that surrounds it — the stillness before the next clearing, the quiet strength of the land beneath changing skies.
