morning, warm and partly cloudy day. Cloudy sky makes for interesting things happening on the ground - which part of the landscape gets lit up (bright green, bright yellow) can change within 10 seconds. Sometimes you can even see the shadow line move. It also means you have to look, decide which "state" to paint, and remember it, or you'll be doomed in eternal repainting of the scene.

warm and windy day, 8 pm. Not as golden-hour-yellow-cheesy as I would have expected. The midground/foreground shrubs still give me lots of trouble, as does the color green.
