About this work
Landscape and atmosphere sketch of distant, billowing storm clouds above lush jungle terrain in Jamaica. Likely taking place during the afternoon or midday, the clouds are illuminated along their fringe in a luminous silver and constitute a towering mass in the otherwise blue sky. In the lower portion, dense trees extend from the foreground and into the middle distance.
