Hard Rain
8.5" × 10.5" | Oil Pastel on Canvas Paper | Original Artwork
Across a sunlit field, an immense sky gathers in Hard Rain. The warmth of summer remains in the land, but above it, blue-grey, violet and muted rose accumulate around a pale, unsettled centre.
The painting captures a pattern familiar across Alberta: the moment when the sun remains behind us while something darker approaches from the northwest. Hail and thunder have not yet arrived, but the atmosphere has already changed. We recognize the warning and hurry toward shelter, rarely pausing to notice the strange beauty carried within it.
That suspended moment also becomes a metaphor for anxiety—the certainty of danger before anything has actually happened. Reassurance may come from elsewhere, but the body has already read the sky.
Hard Rain remains at that threshold: the field illuminated, the storm approaching, and beauty inseparable from apprehension.
