An Intergalactic Storm & Lear's Storm

Image
  An Intergalactic Storm & Lear's Storm This morning's news feed brought images from NASA's Webb space telescope.  An image of the Pillars of Creation (astronomers' hyperbolic nomenclature) brought to mind one of my paintings.  Years after a flood from hurricane Isabel devastated our cottage I commemorated our recovery with this painting  of Lear chalanging the storm, "Rage, Blow, Ye Cataracts and Hurricanoes."  Shakespeare's breath, upper right, animates the faces of the storm, who in turn blast Lear and his fool.    Do you see the  faces in this intergalactic dust "storm"?  I reoriented the picture to highlight the similarity.
