Opis

Frequently working en plein'air', storm concocts locales with architecture from different environs, thus a french loire castle or a German one lands in his beloved muncy hills. Lanterns from along the strand plunk down in paintings of the artists' garden. Each piece is completely seen in the artist's mind before he begins working. Often the dragons, rabbits, mice, dogs, cats and other symbolic animals and heroes are developed in the artist's studio. These alter-egos add the humor, Poignancy, and philosophy that hallmarks storm's work. When a piece is completed he spends days studying it to live with his creation. Discussing it at length with his wife, Nella, it is then that she writes the saga which serves as the key to unlock the numerous layers of meaning in each painting. After the saga is written it is fine tuned by the artist. never does the saga develop prior to the painting.
