A Coming Storm in the Adirondacks is a 1890 oil by Homer Watson, a American Impressionism work, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a river flowing through the center, surrounded by rocks and trees. The sky above is filled with dark clouds, suggesting an impending storm. In the foreground, a few trees stand tall, their branches stretching towards the sky. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, with the dark clouds and trees set against the lighter tones of the river and rocks. The overall mood of the painting is one of calmness, despite the approaching storm. The painting's use of chiaroscuro technique is reminiscent of the works of other artists who have explored this style.
Homer Ransford Watson (January 14, 1855 – May 30, 1936) was a Canadian landscape painter.
