+\- 45 F Mostly cloudy & windy, with breaks of sun & calm.
The north-facing slopes still have snow from the last storm. Introduce some very subtle greens in the foreground.
I liked the way the light reflected off of the rolling middle-ground, and the trees and bushes contrasted to it.
I've done a couple of paintings from this site (or pretty close). My view is south-west.
The sun came in and out today, (mostly in). I always orient the panel so it's shaded from the sun, which is a major factor in finding just the right place to paint. I guess I could get an umbrella to shade my panel. The sun also passed over different parts of my view changing things dramatically for a few minutes until the clouds returned.
Soon I must make a paint box and alter my easel so I can move away from the truck, but until then the path of least resistance is "truck painting".
At 11" x 17" this is the largest Painting I've done since before the winter began. It definitely takes more time to move the paint.
