Thanks Berverly and Carolyn.  Carolyn, I had a gessoed panel with a very faint warm yellow tone that I used and it does show through a little, especially in my transparent/semi-transparent dark areas, as I intended.  I took a bunch of sunset photos during that turbulence (it wasn't really a storm up here) and actually did a similiar grisaille from one of them with my left over tonal mixtures.  I will glaze that also in several days and post it if it's any good.   Stu

Stu, looks very much like the storm and turbulence that passed through here a couple days ago, including the very interesting foreground. Did you have an tonal ground you worked on? Love it!

Stu I really like the movement  you have in the clouds and the light showing in the foreground.  Very nice.

Thanks Jane. It's almost dry enough to glaze. Stu

Nice range in values.  It is a painting already.

Thanks Kim and Michael. Yeah, I don't like waiting for paint to dry, but warm weather and alkyd medium shorten the time to a more tolerable interval. Also allowed me to start two more paintings. Stu

Looking good, Stu. It must be hard to wait for the next stage. (I haven't started this stage yet...)
