Today I discovered I had a completely free day! Nothing on the calendar, plus it was going to be overcast, so lure of the outdoors....YEAH....full day to paint! First I did a warm-up...I went to a painting I was not happy with (though My good friend/artist Tracy Leageld liked it) and really talked my self through it and discovered that to really emphasize the drama I needed to subdue the foreground, trees, adjacent road and even the background mountains and clouds--the rimed light needed to be the focal point. So it was a complete paint over...but now I am happy with it. (Not happy with photo, which I will replace)
