I snapped the reference for this during an early morning bike ride last Sunday.  I wish I had done this small study before I wasted paper doing a pastel....I would have left out the center tree.  I am training myself to stop putting in details that do not support my intentions.....not easy for me.

We are on the verge of a week of much needed rain.  The weekend is hours away, and I  hope to find something more to do than clean the fridge, necessary as that is.  Perhaps a series of still lifes are in order...that usually gets me going.
