The Field and Jet

  I was on an outing on the levee of the Sacramento River in Yolo County when I painted this.  This location was on the other side of the river from the Sacramento International Airport.  The river was to my back and I'm facing south.  The painting was a field and I was just going to use one page of my journal.  But as I was working an airliner flew overhead and it seemed to fit just right.  I continued the painting onto the facing page and abandoned the original idea.  I wanted to include this to show how there are many accidents in art, and life, that one can use to make the product more interesting.
