QUAKE AND A CLOUDY DAY

By now most have heard that a 7.2 earthquake struck Mexicali yesterday, with minor damages in San Diego. And the town has been talking non-stop since.
Where was I? Wouldn't you know, I was outside, walking and looking upwards. I am embarrassed to say that I didn't feel a thing, but did notice and fascinated by a berserk flock of sea gulls and one crane, flying erratically. They glided from tree to tree and in a circular motion. Their formation was beautiful to watch.
And today it's raining in drizzles with an overcast sky. The sun peeks out at very small moments. What a good day to paint.

  1. Thanks Susan - I really appreciate your comments!! Very kind : ) And I've got to say - I just love your skies. It's something I really want to work on this spring/summer - getting good clouds! Yours are always so full of depth. I've go tot learn from them! : )

  2. Well thank you back Kim. Love hearing from you once again. Been framing paintings - which is such a drag with pastels- so away a bit.
    Have to admit too, that my skies are not plein air and a lot of layering to get the depth. Love working in miniature, so worth it.
