As a storm of rain and winds began to bear down on our campsite, I had just begun painting this oil on panel. Sometimes when the weather is unpredictable and conditions are not quite convenient for painting, I just keep painting and basically get the composition down fast. A storm will always test your tolerance, but I kept expressing myself and I quite like its dark tones of colour; the mood always evokes the memories of that fall day. When camping in the mountains, prepare for sudden changes in weather. And the Stave is north of Mission.
