The painting was started this past summer on a sunny July morning.  The initial result wasn’t satisfying, so a second onsite attempt was made to finish the painting, but it still didn’t turn out the way I would have liked.  I went back into the painting in the studio and, after some muddling about, I discovered the weather that day wasn’t so good after all—the ‘rainstorm’ was a welcome invention.
