Braving the Storm was something I thought of thinking back to days at the beach when storms would come up so quickly. It has roaring ocean waves, dark rolling clouds, all that you'd expect in a stormy seas painting. But, then the sunrays come popping out pushing the storm aside and off to the right in the middle of the storm, one single bird, a seagull, Braving the Storm, hence the title of this painting.
My name is Cody Stone Cookston. I was born and raised here in the mountains of Tennessee surrounded by all the Splendor of Country Living. Although, moving here and there when I was young, I mainly stayed close to my hometown of Palmer, TN, and still reside here today. I have always been fascinated by art even as a young child. With painting, my love for it came from seeing my grandmother's paintings and her gifting most of them to me. Although she was never a Famous, Well Renown Artist, her paintings are priceless to me as a Family Heirloom. That being said, I decided to paint myself, and have enjoyed the journey thus far. As for my photography, I cannot tell you a time that I wasn't holding a camera. Even when I was very young, I was usually the one taking the pictures unless I had to be in the photograph. I hope you enjoy my artwork and that it brings you as much happiness as it brought me creating it.
