Today I was so impressed by the forboding sky, dark and mysterious with alternate sunny spells that I whizzed over to Bowood to capture the light play and reflections in the lake. As set up my sketching gear the sun was on the reeds against an inky blue black sky, just fabulous!
I mixed my first wash, poised my big mop and the first crack of thunder announced the arrival of... yes, torrential rain. Redulant of the old Cadbury's flake advert I looked at the still wet stretched paper, indigo coloured paint mottled with rain splodges now growing outwards to the edges and in my mind christened it "Snow storm over Bowood"......oh (----!) (well!)
