Plein Air Painting in the Rain by Sharon Guy
















Rainy Morning, Oil on canvas, 12 in. x 9 in.

Last weekend my early morning plein air painting sessions were interrupted a couple times by heavy rain. I sat in the car and drew some fabulous clouds. After a short painting session, I had to retreat to the pavilion while a thunderstorm and downpour went on. Beachgoers were patiently waiting and hoping they could go back out on the sand. I ended up finishing this painting in the studio. Painting outside in all the elements requires some flexibility. It expresses the mood of the beach in the rain, with birds huddled together.
