"Seascape," Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1879.
Y'all know Renoir. This is a great dramatic painting, not the usual Renoir style as he did few seascapes. On one hand, it's almost pretty in its gray, blue, violet, and green, but at the same time, the crashing waves and dark clouds give it a drama that's almost worthy of the Romantics.
Some find this canvas overly pretty and tame, but to me, this is the wildness of the sea through Renoir's lens.

Storm Brewing.
Storm Brewing, a painting in acrylic on paper of a dark stormy sky behind glass and steel buildings, with a bus in the foreground on a deserted city street. The scene was in Rua Funchal, Sao Paulo, Brazil as torrential summer rain approached.

New Post From Cliff's Pixelfed
The storm clouds yesterday afternoon had a very visible pink color, something I haven't seen in a very long time.
