A cloudy, soggy, muddy sort of day. Views from @the_tasting_room_stanford_hill
where they measured 104mm of rain yesterday in a short space of time. Driving there was interesting this morning.

#stanfordsketchers had the opportunity to paint at the villa at Goodwill Mountain Farm this week. 🙏 A cloudy start with the morning sun creeping in under the clouds and making the mountains glow yellow and green.

A quick (two-hours with breaks) acrylic landscape in my sketchbook at painting class this morning. We mostly all eased into the year with a small landscape this week.

Recent sketchbook drawings, a few of which are now paintings. These are (except one) 10-minute value studies to test a composition before I paint it.
