Mimi got to spend a little time in the Sierras. weather went from sunny and warm to lightening, thunder, hail and snow - all within a few days.
worked with a minimal palette of color: cad yellow light, alizarin crimson, cad red medium, ultramarine blue, viridian (found some sap green, too) and white.
the école should spend a week here just to paint!
cold sunlight, clear sky
eye wanders up the hill from
dead limbs to young tree

sketch from the window,
just before storm turns sunlight
to bits of white ice
