THREATENING RAIN

oil/board
11x14
 
Lately, it seems that my plein air excursions have occured on overcast to threatening weather days. It makes for hastily painted canvases and quick visits. I've come to enjoy these experiences, though. I mix my blues, burnt sienna and white for a stormy sky-plop the colors down in the sky part of the composition and swirl my brush around till I get a dramatic look-perhaps a bit more dramatic than the sky in front of me, but so much fun.
