#2661 "Subtle Soft Sunrise Cumulus"

#2661 "Subtle Soft Sunrise Cumulus"
5x7 inches oil
The warm frontal surface was aloft over Singleton Lake as the morning sun rose in the east. The cool conveyor belt of easterly breezes was being drawn into the low pressure system well to the west. There was not much cloud in the sky but it was mostly convective in nature. Subtle gravity waves in the warm conveyor belt aloft were only evident in varying shades of blue as the cirrostratus was not thick enough to be opaque. The couple of bands of altostratus gravity waves sprouted cauliflower, cumulus turrets and even a bit of subtle virga. The sky is always interesting even if the weather clues are subtle. 

There are many, many ways to look at the weather - beside
using oils, brushes and canvas... 

I employed a small panel to record these observations. Sometimes small is best and less is more. 

For this and much more art, click on Pixels. Thank you.
