Thunderous Day


We've had some wonderful rainclouds hovering over the city recently, inspiring me to paint this one. I used Bristol paper, which is lighter weight and has a slight texture to it. I've experimented with washier techniques, pooling thinner paint and letting it run where it will--within reason.  As I painted this I could hear thunder cross the mesa, and immediately thought of the title. It has a certain majesty to it, I think.
