a mostly sky-scape

The idea I wrote about a few days ago has still not come to fruition. 

Today, during a walk in the woods, I was pulled in a totally different direction. The vibrant, green shoots of daffodil leaves are pushing up through papery dead leaves. I know from past experience that if I want to get this (and other) spring emergence down on canvas, on site, I have to act quickly, so I may put my concept painting on the back burner for a while. 

Last year I did some sketches of plants pushing up through the leaves, but didn't take it any further. I'll go back to get a painting started early tomorrow morning, if weather permits.

Meanwhile, here is a landscape with clouds:
