Recently, I was painting outside when all of a sudden it started pouring rain. As a result, I was able to find cover under the canopy of a hemlock tree.
However, this changed the trajectory of my painting. The landscape in the background became much simplified and the foreground was abruptly halted.
For some reason I like this little watercolor. This experience lives on in my memory. The blue in the sky makes me think of the cloudburst breaking up in the distance. Also, the band of gray in the middle reminds me of all this fog which was lifting off the surface of the water.
This experience out in nature broadened my perspective which I have come to appreciate. In addition, painting outdoors makes you realize your work is not some precious little thing. The artistic process can develop in a number of ways which you have no control of, if you are open to it.
