Hurricane Trees

Power thankfully back on. House intact. Life returning to normal. I have a very clean freezer and refrigerator. I know that so many have fared far worse.
Seeing all of the trees blowing and leaning is exciting, but not fun after the storm is over to see them down. This oil is 8x10 and is linen on board which is lovely to paint on. Because the surface is so smooth, it changes the way that I paint. Every stroke is more apparent and the board, which does not "answer back" also is different. Not better than regular canvas for me, just a new way of painting. I think that these boards will be a better solution when I paint outdoors, as they are easier to manage and dry so much faster.
