Mangroves on a raining day

Plein air painting
Oil on board.    8.5 in x 9.6 in (27 x 22cm)

Not long after I began to paint, the rain pured down with wind. I was working with one hand holding an umbrella, one hand with a brush. There was a moment I wanted to quit because canvas, pallete and half of my back were soaked with water. At that moment, I was thinking what did I gain if I returned home. Well, I wouldn't gained anything. I only lost a chance to produce another plein air work. I shouldn't care if it came out nice or not. It's all about the process that fascinates me and very often, the result is magic!
