The rain held off, the sun was even out for a bit, so I did a default "outback" The last time I did this pretty much same scene it was 0  degrees, yes, that's zero Fahrenheit. Here is the blog post from that day:'

My reasoning for doing these "default paintings, sketches, really, is to practice trying to get the light, trying to get some kind of composition......

I'm also liking the idea od doing scenes, not just in different seasons, but over different years to see if I've progressed any (this is the third or maybe the forth of this exact scene)

I touched it up a bit after I took this, but basically here is where I ended up, not much more than 1/2 hour, better spent than doing a lot of things....

Here is my scene, yes that's a foot, it's cast concrete, i made it in 1992, I think, when i was making big heavy sculptures, most haven't survived.
