Bad Weather seems to be an extremely prescient nod towards climate change, a grim storm on the horizon. The painting only barely focuses on evidence of its own title, instead filling most of its space with numerous felled trees, and two men actively cutting down more. A quarry or mine at the center divides the landscape. Brown's concern for the environment seems to be the focus of the painting, proposing that its "Bad Weather" title must have some causal connection to the devastation of the landscape.
