#2298 "November Warm Sector Sunset"

It is vitally important to enjoy every sunset. The time is well spent or well wasted at the very least. It was 5 pm on Tuesday November 26th, 2019. A huge winter storm was churning eastward across Iowa destined to track north of Singleton Lake.
The col in the deformation zone was also to the north as would be expected. Patches of sunset altocumulus were backlit by the twilight. The cloud was patchy in the anticyclonic portion of the deformation zone also as one would expect due to the subsidence. Gravity waves in the cloud indicated that the system relative winds were northwesterly as they should be. Clouds and their shapes are formed in the atmosphere frame of reference even though we are tied to the ground. Every cloud has a story to tell and I am all ears. That is how you learn.

I used the last number on my roll of blue masking tape. I had a new green roll of numbered masking tape ready to go. It was raining outside when I started this painting the next day in the Singleton Studio. It was a cold rain with an equally cold easterly conveyor belt producing a chilly easterly surface breeze. It was a very good day to be warm in front of the wood fire with the tunes on.
