Puddle in the Parking Lot

On my way back from doing some errands I made a quick painting of the Reno Depot parking lot which is surrounded by trees. As the rain poured I could make the painting is relative dryness, I was standing outside, but the store front has this overhang that blocks the rain. It was still tricky since the paint would not completely dry. Judging the value and contrast on a rainy day is affected by how your eyes adjust. The painting appears to have more contrast than when I painted it. I've not had too much experience painting in the rain. The ultimate rain painting was one I did about a month ago in a torrential downpour at night.

With that painting, I wrap up October. It was an okay month for painting. The leaves took a long time to change colour but it was worth the wait. Let's see what November brings.
