From May 2018...
The hang back altocumulus cloud from the cold low was still swirling southward across Singleton Lake. The air mass was also becoming increasingly unstable. As a result it was looking more like a summer sunset than a spring sky. The altocumulus clouds can take on a wide range of sunset colours and my goal was to capture those shades in oil without getting too detailed and tight. The next air mass was already on the western horizon. This is an example of the double deformation zone pattern.
I did this very rough panel on the vertical layout to highlight the suspense regarding the unstable atmosphere. Thunderstorms were a possibility in this new approaching air mass. The large thunderstorms over Iowa and to the southwest were clearly evident on the water vapour imagery. Summer was on the way.
