Moments after the storm that didn't happen. Watercolouring while waiting for the storm today. The dark sky puttered into a dry, desert-dust bowl yellow. Finished the painting and still feeling the pause. The pause in the storm sky finally moved from 'Storm checkmate' to display a spread of pinks while waiting for the ink-blues of sunset to 'watercolour through'. The storm didn't happen here today. Although quiet, the mid August sky , after the days of the Lions gate and Aquarius full moon, and some big star and planets, was definitely cooking up some major business. Michaela
