There's been a lot of rain this summer but it hasn't lasted for days, just a storm popping up every few days. The farmers must be happy about all the rain mixed in between days of sunshine.
We were driving home in the late afternoon just after one such Passing Storm, and I captured this scene with my phone. Rich colors, both warm and cool across the landscape!
I love small town roadside ice cream stands. They are always well lit and prominent in the heart of the town. I especially like them on summer evenings, when it's not quite dark yet but the lights are on. This is the second one I've painted and I think there will be more.
We were driving home from dinner in Lake Geneva and the summer sun was minutes from setting behind some trees when we passed this beautiful white barn lit up by the blazing sunset.
I am way behind on posting so I will be doing one a day here for a while. This was from my daily walk that I squeezed in right after a dramatic spring rain shower.
I take a walk everyday and on a beautiful day recently I snapped the picture from which this was painted. I love the blue shadows on the front and the reflected color on the shadow wall. I'm a sucker for white houses in the sun.
