I've Got Sunshine!

We had several sunshine hours this week - it is so welcome after all the rain this summer. I took a quick drive south of town to Turnagain Arm to take some photos. I've become fascinated by cloud formations and figuring out how I would paint them in watercolor. I'm going to try over the weekend since I have 3 days off in a row!

Orange lichen on the rocks

Mackeral skies and mare's tails,
make tall ships shorten sails.

beautiful pictures!! I love clouds. Good luck practicing! Watercolor clouds are hard to do. I'm way out of practice!
