Roses and Peonies 16”x20” Oil.  As soon as I setup this overcast morning it started to rain.  I decided to stick it out for a little while to see what happens. Sure enough the rain soon stopped and I managed to finish the sketch. The constant changing light played havoc with my value assessment. I need to practice doing 5 minutes small simplified sketches quickly focusing on value and color, an exercise recommended by Slava Korolenkov.
