Synopsis:
"Eye of the Storm" is a fascinating exploration of what it means to be a landscape painter. It is also the poignant and universal story of a creative mind dealing with his own mortality, and the physical frailties that catch up with all of us. The film movingly intertwines artist James Morrison's struggle with old age, with his lively views as a much younger painter, captured in remarkable archive filmed more than 50 years ago. Pivotal moments in Morrison's career are also brought vividly to life by Scottish animator Catriona Black.
Indeed, her own journey to understand Morrison's artistic genius, in order to do justice to it in the film, represents a story within a story in this multi-layered and visually stunning film.

So glad not to have missed seeing the work of an artist previously unknown to me. James Morrison's landscapes of Scotland and the Arctic are stunning.

Really liked the amazing landscapes.  The conversations and interviews were less interesting to me, except when the artist talked about his techniques.
