Seasons change with the scenery /Weaving time in a tapestry/ Won't you stop and remember me?

This evening I figured I'd go a little bit shorter - it seems like I've been rambling on a bit too long the last few nights! :-)  Today on the way home it was sunny, but there was also a thunderstorm going on - kinda weird, but it looked interesting.  It just looked a bit hazy out, which gave me the idea for my stroke: I decided to just put down a nice swatch of matte gel, to see what would happen.

 I did this for a couple of reasons - a) I wanted to see what it would do, as far as how much it obscured the colors below, and 2) if it does what I think it'll do, I'll be able to add some stuff on top of it, and that may give the painting an extra bit of depth, which I think will be cool.  I guess we'll see tomorrow, once it dries. 

Oh, and yeah, for the link above, I did, in fact pick the Bangles' version over Simon and Garfunkel's version, also for two reasons: 1) contrary to what I wrote about last night, I was raised in the 80s, not the 60s, and dos) not to take away from S&G's amazing version, this one has the ladies totally bringing the rawk - especially Miss Susannah Hoffs, someone I still have a crush on to this day.  :-)  Man, is she hawt!
