No painting done. Sister is back in the hospital and we are waiting word from her daughter so will clean and move stuff around to ease some of the tension. Have to get the oils set up so I can paint in both oils and watercolors.

I always have the same problem--nothing in nature looks as monumental in my photos. Once, before digital cameras, I took a whole roll of photos of clouds. Then I had them developed: what a huge disappointment! But I adjusted my expectations. Maybe that's why artists seem to prefer sketching and memorization?
I agree, being out, sketching and seeing the real thing beats a photo every time. :) Photos are handy though for recalling places and feelings.
