Rain clouds over the coast

This painting depicts rain clouds rolling in over the coast. The scene is taken in the half light immediately after sunset AKA when I got out of the surf. Reference pics are from Leighton beach in WA.

Louis Parker is a Fremantle/Walyalup based artist. He has recently returned to WA after two years living in Paris (and three in Stockholm before that). His style is heavily influenced by his countless hours studying the impressionist greats at the Musée d'Orsay and Louvre. He believes a great landscape painting should convey the emotion of inhabiting a given space, favouring impulsive mark making over meticulous photorealism. A life long surfer, coastal scenes make a natural subject though Louis will try to paint just about anything with varying degrees of success.
