Clouds Over Carquinez Straitsl

Oil on canvas panel, 9" by 12" plein air. I couldn't resist these clouds yesterday. No rain, that's all been in Southern California, but we have been getting some snow in the Sierras. This is about a half mile East of where the Sacramento River enters San Pablo Bay as it exits the delta on its way to the Pacific Ocean.

Comment by Sandi Lear on March 5, 2015 at 10:01: Some lovely defined brushwork here, and your clouds are excellent!

Comment by Steinunn Einarsdottir on March 5, 2015 at 8:38: I think you do your clouds very well, they are not easy to do at all. The weather seems to be playing havoc every where this winter, I am really looking forward to spring and hope we get a decent summer and also a good weather comes your way too.
All the best Stu

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on March 5, 2015 at 4:41: Thanks Steinunn. Here we have our rainy season in the winter and get most of our clouds during the rainy season. This year has been topsy turvy with some electrical storms last Summer as well. I'm just going with the flow, painting what the weatherman brings, and happy to see my cloudscapes improving. We sure need some rain and snow in California to bring us out of our drought!!
