This expressive oil sketch captures the atmospheric tension of a coastal storm, where the sky and earth seem to collide. Through heavy, deliberate impasto brushwork, Darren creates a tactile sense of churning clouds and a wind-swept shore. The composition is anchored by a striking contrast between the dark, brooding indigo of the upper atmosphere and a central burst of luminous azure and fiery ochre, evoking the raw, indomitable energy of the elements.
