A Walk Between Rainstorms

Winter in Santa Teresa Open Space Park

I’m drawn to the subtle colors of winter and a sky laden with more water, particularly in a case like this where there is a passage of vivid spring chartreuse on the side of a hill briefly bathed in light by a break in the clouds. This plein air painting was done on a soggy February morning at the Santa Teresa Open Space Park in the San Jose area.
