Here is another little painting I made with the San Diego Meetup Plein Air group. A rare rainstorm came up while painting and we had to leave after only an hour. The struggle to paint the light with the clouds moving so fast with the wind was madness. The scene would completely change literally from one minute to the next. I think that is part of why I like this little study, the rush and intensity to capture the fleeting moment left me little time to tickle stuff and just go for the essential. This is a view of the El Capitan mountain seen from El Cajon.
