There have been no little cat feet involved in the fog we're having this week. It came in more like a herd of elephants, about the same colour and just as heavy. But then late this afternoon the sun broke through, miraculously quickly and completely. I ran out to the boulevard with my sketchbook and watercolours (then ran back home to get water - a fairly important part of watercolouring. I'll get this outdoor sketching thing figured out sometime). It was spectacular. I felt like people must have felt in the 1930's when they invented colour. Fortunately I did a quick 20 minute sketch, because by the time I got home, the fog was returning out of thin air (literally, I suppose). The top of the school a block away disappeared as I drew it, and now all the neighbours' houses are gone too. Which isn't such a bad thing, really...
