Storm light is both dramatic and subtle. It's very mercurial to capture. I snapped this picture of a double rainbow after a brief summer shower and until now was a bit intimidated to try and paint it. It was challenging. Rainbows are bright, but soft. The clouds are moving quickly and the shadows change just as fast. You can feel the heat coming back after the cool rain.
