Art mini-reviews!

The "lightning" is strong in this one, though I'm struggling to see the "jar". (Is the black band at top left an implied lid?) I'm also grasping at straws trying to parse the title, unless it's a reference to the band, and if it is I'm still not sure of its relevance…? The picture's hue certainly doesn't feel tangerine to me. The clouds are admittedly impressive, but I'm not sure I'm able to put this together into a coherent artistic vision.

Is this your cloudburst flight, Artist? A pretty picture. I can’t be certain that that is lighting in the center; it could perhaps be sunshine or moonshine through the clouds. I’ll give you a pass on the prompt connection regardless.

Let's assume that you didn't take this from google images, so good catch, it's a pretty picture

Aside from being a picture of a lightning, where is the "jar"? Like >>horizon said, and like him, I can't get a coherent vision on this one. And the title doesn't help in the slightest.

The "jar" was indeed supposed to be the top left black band, in addition to the bottom left black clouds (the jar is knocked over). As for the title, here is how I interpret "tangerine dream". It's a dream we all have within us, powerful and inspiring, but a dream we aren't often aware of. It's when this dream becomes too much "unsatisfied" that it starts manifesting its presence to our conscious.

For me, a lightning in a jar is something similar, it's a force of Nature that cannot be contained for long. It will inevitably go out sooner or later.

Yes this is a picture of a lightning I took months ago. In fact, you are all looking at a Canadian lightning.

Here is another picture I've hesitated to submit instead of this one:
