"Suction Vortex near Grain Elevator" (2007)
Miniature oil on copper (5" x 7")
In the collection of Mrs Wilma Rogers, Dallas, Texas.
(Notes: A suction vortex begins sucking up dust and debris near an old grain elevator.
A suction vortex is a small but very intense vortex within a tornado circulation; much of the extreme damage associated with violent tornadoes is attributed to suction vortices.)
