Rainy Day at the Pond

Rainy Day at the Pond
Oil on panel, 14x11

I love rainy days!  They keep me out of the gardens and really put me in the mood to paint.  I'm a little late at getting this posted tonight.  I had finished this painting right before we rushed out for a late night showing of Man of Steel.  So, just now returning, I captured an image to get it on my blog.  Feeling more impressionistic today, I have painted this one with loose brushwork.  When I first started landscape painting, I only wanted to paint the sunny days with the golden light.  Now, I find I really enjoy painting the rainy days!  This is painting number 163 in 163 days - and it is time for bed!
