Anne-Laure Carruth - As the storm approaches, Stoke by Nayland, Suffolk
120 x 59 cm, acrylic on canvas, 2015
An afternoon painting in the picturesque Suffolk countryside, when a summer storm approaches. The frantic energy of the storm captures Anne-Laure’s imagination and ignites her inner wild spirit. A painting completed in minutes, running before the storm, giddy with excitement and a feeling of absolute freedom of creation. Being alive.
