label: Description
content: Atmosphere and landscape sketch showing a view of storm clouds over hilly terrain in Mexico. In the foreground at right, a tall plant, likely a cactus is visible. Flat terrain extends from the foreground and into the background, where a rugged range of hills is shown on the horizon at left. Dominating the composition at center, a billowing mass of thundery storm clouds unleashes a torrent of dark rain above the hills at center left. Main portion of the cloud shaded and rendered in some detail.
