I started painting this in late Dec 2006. After painting the sky and mountain in the background, I hit a roadblock when I just could not figure out how to draw the rain drenched road in the foreground.
After finishing this painting during the weekend of Sept 26th, 27th of 2015, I have been painting almost every weekend, completing close to 10 oil paintings during Oct, Nov and Dec of 2015.
This a close up of the sky and the mountain as of Jan 22, 2007.
Here is the finished painting on Canva-Paper, size 12" x 16".
I finally finished it after 9 years. It took me this time as I just did not know how to draw a road which, is drenched in rain with puddles reflecting the sky and clouds. 9 years of trying it on and off and I finally get it to finish line.
Completed - Sept 27th, 2015
