Second Movement

For information about the Plein-air Workshop in Holland, please visit  www.donaldjurneyworkshop.blogspot.com   

Fog

My intention today was to work some more on yesterday's panel.

  
But several correspondents told me not to touch it. After pondering that idea, I decided to make another panel, of the same non-existent place, and to paint it in the manner of a recent favorite.




But, as Carl Sandburg wrote, "the fog comes on little cat feet."
Soon I heard the protracted, anguished moan of the foghorn at Rawson's Point, calling warnings to those upon the sea. In what seemed like just a second, it was upon me, everything sheathed in gray.

You can imagine the situation in my studio. Aside from anything else, I couldn't even see my coffee cup---a dire turn of events.
This is where I stopped.  


So now I still have to tackle the one from yesterday, again.
