It was a generally cloudy day, with the sun making brief appearances, and a threat of rain always present somewhere in the sky. But one cannot just decide to paint only on sunny days. Well, you can. But then you might not paint outside so much.
A question that keeps popping into my mind, I don't know why, is something that I read a couple years ago: can you imagine a color that doesn't yet exist? It's like trying to look at your own eyes without a mirror (which I think came from Alan Watts). Or understanding painting?
This is a view looking north in Pownal, Vermont. 9x12 oil on panel.
