Storm over Ipanema 1

STORM OVER IPANEMA 1 is part of Black storm series. James made this painting after a trip to Brazil. Especially in Rio and the Costa Verde. He uses silver pigments for the reflections of sun on the sea. There are always incredible reflects both on the sea and in the black storm sky. James gives the sensation of the rain with the runs and drips that seem to remove pictorial material from the canvas.
