Supercell with Funnel Cloud and Lightning Bolt -- Tornado Painting by David Smith

"Right-mover with Funnel Cloud and Lightning Bolt" (2007)
Oil on copper (8" x 10")
(Notes: A "right-mover" spawns a funnel cloud and electrical storm.
Supercells usually move to the right of the mean wind. These are called "right movers" and they are favored with veering winds. Occasionally, these thunderstorms will move to the left of the mean wind. These thunderstorms are called "left movers."
