There Isn't Any Sun


Until recently I've shied away from painting on cloudy, rain threatening days.  The main reason is that there isn't any sun, but since there isn't any sun, the light remains constant for a long time.  This 12x16 oil on panel I did on the slope of a hillside off of Route 7 that faces the Hopper in Williamstown, MA near Five Corners.  There's an intervening stand of pines screening the mountains, and the horizontal Route 43 down below contrasts with the undulating mountains above in the distance.
