Before The Rain





This painting was done at Howard Park in Tarpon Springs Florida.  We could see the rain clouds heading our way but many times they can be in sight and never reach the shore.  The challenge with a pastel artist is determining how much time before the rain hits the shore.  I've been caught in the rain before scrambling to the car while trying to keep my pastels and painting dry. Pastels, paper and water are not a good combination!  So, to be on the safe side several of us decided to head for the shelter in the park.  It was a wise decision.  The rain came shortly after settling in the shelter.
