Thunderstorm

A dramatic tempest broods over a sprawling city, its dark, churning storm clouds illuminated from within by a hidden light source and distant lightning flashes. Below, a river reflects the steely sky, cutting through a landscape where the warm, golden glow of windows provides a stark contrast to the impending deluge. The painting captures a moment of intense atmospheric tension, with the power of the elements looming over the illuminated human settlement. The masterful play of light and deep shadow creates a moody, cinematic vision of a metropolis on the edge of a storm.
