I lovingly call this painting "Oh Shit ohshitohshitohshit" because that storm was headed directly towards me.
Let me tell you a story. That day, I decided I needed to go to my mom's house and grab tacos at La Paz with sister. As I was driving, I calculated the trajectory of the moon and storm and decided I could outrun it/skirt it from the north side of the mountain by taking Happy Jack Road. North side of the road: sunny, gorgeous, bright. South side of the road: Imperial March plays. You’d think that’d be my clue that maaaaybe the weather was gonna be a little wonky on the way home. So. I drove lead car through a ground blizzard in the dark on the way back home.
This is my first painting of Vedauwoo. It's scary painting places in the back yard because I beat the crap out of myself trying to get it just perfect. I did not do that. It's nice to just paint a story.
