About the Painting 

WITH THE WIND, EVERYONE WORKS FAST TO WRAP IT UP

The wind was blowing and the rain was streaming down and there was a well orchestrated sharing of help. Each person grabbed a bit of the huge plastic and like a roundabout, they pulled and stretched it across the yawning trench. I grabbed a canvas panel and whipped the paint on, rather uncharacteristic for me, I added the blur of the moving shapes. The Ring of Brodgar was barely visible and the Brodgar farmhouse was reaching out with its attached sunroom. I like to think I caught the energy of the moment and the grey of the weather. The muse was there!
