Foggy Mountain


It wasn't quite raining yesterday morning, but it was awfully damp. I was not willing to skip plein air painting again though. I also realized that if the weather held, I'd be able to call my painting Foggy Mountain, in a sort of homage to recently departed Earl Scruggs. So here. I believe you can see the dampness in the view and on the paper. There are some actual rain spots. I liked some of the effects and played them up with my spray bottle.

This is a California Live Oak at the Cobb Estate in Altadena.
