Summer storms over the mountains and hillsides of New Mexico are dramatic, exciting, and absolutely spectacular. Many New Mexico artists have captured the spectacle. Artists such as John Marin, Victor Higgins, Raymond Jonson and others have painted storms long in the past and now Navajo artist Tony Abeyta has done so. His storms are illustrated with billowing clouds that occupy half the painting with rain showers in isolated sections just as they do occur.

Tony Abeyta paints in a number of styles and in a variety of mediums, but these storm landscape scenes are a favorite of many collectors. Unfortunately, it is difficult to obtain one from the artist as he has gone on to other styles and does not like to regress to earlier works.

Framing: the painting is framed in a gold-leaf handmade frame by Gold Leaf Framemakers of Santa Fe.
