This is a small study I did a couple weeks ago in the Laurel Highlands near Ligonier. It was an overcast day and the rain was approaching. You could just feel it. That is why I decided to work on this tiny panel. Sure enough, about 45 minutes into this it started to thunder and lightning. Then came the rain, a real down pour. No time to clean up, just grab it all and go the half mile out of the forest to my truck. I was soaked and exhausted, but it was worth it. This small painting reminds me that anything can happen when you are working outdoors.
