This day started with one of Michael's baseball tournament games, followed by various other errands, and it has taken me all day to get to my easel.  Once there, this beautiful skyscape greeted me from the balcony, and the rain was quickly headed my way. With thunder in the distance, I painted quickly.  Using first my brush and finishing with my knife - this was executed in possibly 30 minutes.  The values are key, when they are right - all else falls together.  The clouds were moving very fast - in fact, the rain moved in before I could even take a photo with the dramatic cloud show in the background.  Painting number 896 in 896 days :)
