I can see colors on a cloudy day!
Today it was cloudy and overcast all day. At first I thought it would make for boring scenery and lower my inspiration to paint - the sky casting a grey muted light over the landscape - making it seem grayer than it would be in bright sunlight and turquoise sky. But once I set up and picked my scene, I was happy I could gaze at it longer than on a sunny day. It was not blinding me. No bright light was bouncing off the rocks, plants, leaves, soil - which obliterates the colors of these things. The longer I gazed, the more richer the colors became. It was one of those ah-ha moments. I won't be discouraged by grey skies again.
