Storm Sky c. 1937

"Storm Sky" is a 1937 drawing by American artist Dorothy Jeakins, known for her work in theater and film design. The artwork depicts a dramatic landscape dominated by a stormy sky, rendered with detailed shading using graphite pencil on paper. The heavy clouds and diagonal raindrops create a sense of movement and energy, contrasted by the calm, flat foreground of tall grasses. Jeakins' use of light and shadow emphasizes the intensity of the storm, inviting viewers to contemplate the raw power of nature.
