Believing that your teacher wanted you to be inspired to search, and of course finding that to which you are drawn the most: I want you to take a look at Joseph Mallord William Turner for 19th century painters. The first time I came across a Turner painting that caught my imagination as well as my total attention was in a museum in Pittsburgh. His style is a tad more abstract than that of Winslow Homer. I like the "abstract quality" usage as a means to "impress" upon the audience a strong sense of directional flow. You can see that the brush stroke was fast and furious in the water impressions of boats being tossed by stormy weather. Always, as an artist, it is more important to give your audience a sense of "power" of awareness of your subject than to get too caught up in detailing the reality. Some artists get too bogged down into realistic detail that robs them of expressing the power of the brush stroke.

I doubt this is who your teacher was talking about, but Winslow Homer painted pre-hurricane weather on islands and fishermen dealing with harsh weather. He was a realist, and his extreme weather paintings were just part of his overall portfolio.

Turner, he painted storms at sea mostly, he even strapped himself to the front of a boat to experience the storm (i heard). i think he's really good for looking at extreme weather. plus he was a genius.
