"Storm" and Expressionist / Expressionism Painting
By. Joseph Minton


Medium: Oil on Canvas
Completed: 8/8/2008
Artist: Joseph Minton
This expressionist painting is of a woman who is engulfed in personal crisis (a storm). She clings to and folds in upon herself, doing her best to take shelter from the pain and sadness that she feels. Her nudity is a symbol of her exposure to the wrath of the uncontrollable emotions that afflict her. She can do little except to hold on and wait until time will hopefully help to ease her pain as the storm passes her by.
