December Sky

7"X5" Oil on board

Some subjects just seem to paint themselves, this is one. The sky over the orchards as I am driving home from work is often spectacular, but very hard to photograph.

We are between storms at the moment,another 15-20cm (6-8")expected tonight and tomorrow. I feel sorry for all those poor souls who are trying to get away for Christmas and am very glad that we are staying put this year. I am looking forward to going into semi-hibernation for a couple of weeks.
