Spring Showers

Considering the crazy stormy weather we have been having here in the Pacific NW I thought it would be a good time to post this painting of the Willamette valley on a typical spring day. This painting was a bit more detailed and fussy than I like, after I finished it I decided to do some dark washes over the sky and foreground to represent rain and cloud shadows I think it came out pretty good especially the areas of sunlight and shadows on the landscape although I would have liked it to be a little looser.
