As the light fails

...here in the Pacific Northwest, the return to standard time is a big blow to those of us who love being outside. Sunset occurs at 4:30 now and if it's overcast and rainy, it seems dark all day. But that means time for studio work! Without the change, I would never be in the studio. Now I can look back at the rack of plein air paintings and decide which of them will be my next studio painting. Though I detest coming inside, I find that my plein air works inform my studio paintings and visa versa. So, once I get over that resistance, I settle right into my new works. This one is going from my plein air study to a full sized studio painting.
