It was a wet day last Tuesday, coming back through Minnesota. This scene was just off of I-94, somewhere between St. Cloud and Fergus Falls.

The paper was toned with an acrylic raw sienna wash before the painting was started. The colour shows through in the foreground. For such a dull painting, a duller ground would have been a better choice.

The streakiness in the sky probably could have been avoided by using a thicker wash.
