Rainy Day at Bauer Farm

Different treatment of foreground.

I spent the morning at Bauer Farm painting. I think most members of the painting group took a day off. Today was overcast. The weather forecast predicted rain, thunderstorms, hail, etc. although most of the foul weather wasn't suppose to hit until this afternoon. I sat in the pavilion protected from a light mist but not the prolific ticks in the area.
The moisture in the air made it difficult to paint as nothing seemed to dry.
I still need a lot of work on painting masses of trees. Today gave me an opportunity to practice, painting trees, skies-other than blue skies, and the atmospheric effect of distant mountains.
