#2551 "Cumulus Surfing the Waves" 5"x7"

This was the the third and last morning of the International Plein Air Painters Worldwide Paint Out 2021. The global paint out was in conjunction with the Kingston School of Art (KSOA) and Paint the Town. I thought that I would start painting a series of weather observations. The sky and inland seas of Lake Ontario were going to be the most exciting part of the turbulent morning.

I continued painting weather observations - this one was started at 10:00 am. This view is actually really looking more into the morning sun across Wolfe Island. The more subdued asperitus were still present over Wolfe Island but I was interested in the increasing size of the convective elements. Showers would be happening soon. The background colour of the cirrostratus cloud illuminated by the morning sun was also very beautiful. 

The small and smooth panels encouraged me to just lay the correct colours in and then leave them alone. For this and much more art, click on Pixels. Thank you.
