		<description><![CDATA[I have really appreciated and enjoyed having these small projects to focus on during the last week.  Although I try to make the best of, contribute towards, and enjoy the paid work I have, I do not find that it inspires or challenges me.  This has been frustrating.  Having these projects to work on has [...]]]></description>

I love storms.  Being outside at the mercy of violent storms have to be among the best experiences I&#8217;ve enjoyed.  It&#8217;s good to be painting again.  Got the ball rolling with this one.  Crit welcome, as usual.
