It was a gloomy day and it looked like it was going to rain but I decided I was going to paint anyway.  So I set up by the car so I could pack it in quickly if I needed too.  I tried painting on a red underpainting because I wanted to change the feel.  I thought I would work off of a purple/gray starting point and develop it from there.

As with everything in plein air painting it all changes so quickly.

The painting goes where ever it has to.  You hope that it goes in the right direction.
