The rains have kept me inside for what seems like forever.  I guess a more adventurous painter would dawn the rain slicker and three layers of clothes and head out, but not me!  I'm a summertime kid, through and through.  Instead, I've been dabbling in the studio.  This time, I took another failed painting and started in.  I made up quite a bit of the light in this....in particular the evening mood.  I figured I had nothing to lose!
