Light on Yonder Hill10 x 8 PLEIN AIR PAINTING |
One year after arriving at Catalina, I had to visit the health clinic, due to somethiing I had "caught"...found out I had walking pnemonia. While I was setting outside, waiting for the clinic to open, the fog was in, and this scene haunted me for two days, until I could return, with my paints, and attempt to capture it. I was blessed, because we had another foggy morning!
The thing I really liked about it, was the simplicity, of shapes, values and colors. And with just a touch of light breaking thru the morning fog.
I went back to this scene in the fall of 2002, thinking I would see the same thing...ha ha...the palms are almost out of sight, don't have the skirts any longer. In short, this scene is a part of history, now!
