Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
FEATURED IN THE "OUT OF THE ORDINARY GROUP" 4/18/17.
As the smoky, dark funnel fell from the sky, mammatus clouds slowly bubbled near it. The greenness of the sky reflects in both the sky and the driveway. 25 people died in this event. Turning just where I lived at the time, I was lucky not to lose my own life. This tragedy, though deadly, had a certain mysterious beauty about it. Several years ago it has been, but one never forgets the sound and stillness prior to it.
