Determined to paint spring flowering trees today, I went in search of those lovely red pink crabapples! I found this scene from the Kohl's parking lot, looking southeast, towards Jose Pepper's. The rain got pretty heavy at times, but let up towards the end. As long as I've got paint on the whole surface of the panel, the rain doesn't hurt anything. If I don't, and the panel gets wet, those wet areas then resist the oil paint - and can't be painted until dry! So, I can tilt my panel downwards a little until I get that paint on, and then proceed normally. The light every changing, I paint it as I see it and then I leave it alone. I think I paint faster in the rain. Doesn't everyone? Painting number 1548 in 1548 days :)
