Influences - JMW Turner

Snowstorm (1842)
British painter JM William Turner pre-dated both the Impressionists (by about 50 odd years) and the Abstract Expressionist (by about 100+ years) with work that would have done either movement proud.
His ability to capture and render light intrigues. Reportedly his last words were "God is light" which are very hard to disagree with.

Sunrise with Sea Monsters (1845)
