I am seduced by the paintings of Turner, not just the beautiful burning poetic rages for which he is known today but also the well-articulated and finely calculated works that won him such fame and fortune in his own time. The burning of the British buildings of parliament, the onward rush of a steam train, the swirling ominous play of hurricane over ocean... these are the things that have influenced this painting.
Original oil on canvas with painted 2 inch deep sides.
