A valuable lesson in the morning: radiation fog, which perhaps I should have foreseen, made it too dark to paint early, and perhaps too damp for it to have dried if I had. The best-laid plans.
Wasn't put off though; went shopping early, and when the fog had risen to become low cloud, I did the painting then.

Cloud burnt off later to another golden autumn day, put me in a really good mood.
