Day 296
I went for a cycle ride this morning but had no time to stop and sketch. So this evening I put on my plastic gardening clogs and went out with an umbrella to enjoy a thunder and lightening storm with pouring rain. Every few minutes, the sky lit up a sort of lilac colour. It was much scarier than the hoons. I tried to catch the feel with pastels when I got home. 12 km cycle, 1 km walk

I really think you've caught the feel of it. Gorgeous colours. Looks like sheet lightning.

Walking in a storm? Are you fearless? I'm under the bed with the cat and dog and mice. Only kidding.
Your project of exercise plus making pictures certainly has resulted in an amazing assortment of drawings/paintings. My sketches, etc. are periodic and not connected to exercise - in fact some were made while sitting for nine hours! Not recommended, though Peceli kept telling me to exercise my arms and legs in the car. No wonder people get thrombosis or whatever on long plane trips.
