Rainy, damp, cold and muddy days are the best! No kidding. It only takes a smidgen' of dreariness in the air to make me want to paint. A pot of coffee on and I'm zoned out. Now there was no way I was going to sit out in the cold and paint these guys and just a photo won't be enough reference material, sooooo I spend a little time in my warm car and study the scene for awhile. What color is the mountain in the background? No camera could adequately reproduce that violet color so I decide right then and there what I will need to mix the right hues. Will I remember all of this? You bet. Do those guys in the painting wonder what in the world I am up too? You bet.
