More Clouds

 

5/19/21 Wedgwood neighborhood

Driving home from the post office, I took a meandering route through the Wedgwood neighborhood. In the early afternoon heading in a northerly direction, I always look for backlit or top-lit views when trees shimmer around the edges. The sun kept darting in and out of clouds, so I worked on my sketch accordingly: quickly putting in shadows and lighted elements when the sun appeared; working on other areas when it shied away. This time, I didn’t feel like messing around with dry pencils to attempt those clouds, which demanded to be treated right with water.
