volatile

  

It was a turbulent unsettling day.
This morning my gear-laden plein air class headed out-the looming mighty thunder followed so we hiked all the way back and worked under the gazebo and porch. 

This painting was made as the wind threw rain and was knocking everything around-the blue thing is a purse-I like putting plants in purses-
