Big White Sky

 

1/24/22 Northgate neighborhood

The fog had thinned by 2 p.m., but enough of it remained to give the fringe of trees in the distance a blurry softness. Everything looked about the same tone of gray – a bit of a sketcher’s nightmare, really, with not much standing out. Unless the sky has something interesting in it, I typically don’t include much of it in my compositions. On this wide street in the Northgate area, however, not even wires marred that completely flat whiteness. So this turned out to be a sketch of the sky as much as anything else.
