I paint tornadoes and I'm selling prints

[Connor Sipe]

What do you do when you can't chase Tornado Alley? Make your own perfect tornado shots. My painting hobby grew out of wish fulfillment for my own photography and I totally caught the bug. I have a bunch of tornado paintings in my Paintings collection on my Fine Art America page here, where you can buy and customize prints how you like. (There's paintings and photography of other stuff like national parks and lightning too).

Here's the collection: Connor Sipe Artwork Collection: Paintings

I like to find real scenes around the plains on Google street view and put realistic tornadoes or storms in them. Here's a handful of my better ones:


Everything's Bigger in Texas - west central Texas, 14x11 inches acrylic


Not in Kansas Anymore - south central Kansas, 8x10 inches acrylic


One of Those Days - north central Kansas, 10x8 inches acrylic


May in Oklahoma - northwest Oklahoma, 14x11 inches acrylic


A Slow Process - northeast Arizona, 10x8 inches acrylic


Drifting Away - western North Dakota, 7x5 inches acrylic


Welcome Rain - east central Colorado, 12x9 inches acrylic

Are these paintings from photos of actual tornadoes? Or are they your creations? Just curious.

I just saw your comment about using real scenes, so I am guessing they are your tornado creations. Please disregard my previous question!

Your paintings have a happy quality to them.

One of Those Days is lovecraftian
