Yesterday, halfway through my painting, the sky on the horizon went black with rain and a small twister. It was too late to alter the sky, but I think it may show in the way the foreground picked up the light.

Another pigment from Martha’s stones. I’m beginning to take on my version of the methodical record keeping, which is all around me here.
