On Wednesday in the morning, the light on these distant rock formations was so very beautiful. I was standing in a field that was adjacent to our time share. The weather was predicted to get bad, but I wanted to get one painting in, before the clouds rolled in about noon. And roll in they did, I had just enough time to finish this painting when the black clouds rolled in and the wind and cold weather set in for the rest of the day. In fact that evening, there were snow flurries, that too was a fun experience.
Thursday morning, the ski had cleared and it was a cold, but beautiful day. My good friend Lilli and come to spend the remainder of the week with us, and she and I drove up to Flagstaff in the morning to see if there were any fall colors there, especially the Aspens near San Francisco Peak. But it was not meant to be, as when we got there, all of the leaves had dropped the night before with the storm. The drive up and back was nevertheless beautiful, and time was not wasted. That afternoon, we drove a little ways down the Red Rock Loop, and stopped at a beautiful by the side of the road, with views of Cathedral Rock in the distance. While painting there, another painter from San Jose joined me, and started painting the same view, in acrylic, on a large canvas. It was a great afternoon of painting.
