#0516 "Window Seat October Morning"

This scene from from early on the morning of October 10th. It was overcast with a north-northeasterly breeze aligning the turbulent stratocumulus along streets parallel to the wind direction. The bands of higher altocumulus were aligned like water waves, perpendicular to the wind direction. These gravity waves are evident in the upper right corner of the image. The colours were summer still except for the reds and ambers of fall. The sun peaked through and illuminated the tops of the closest street of stratocumulus. The surface winds were still calm as we had not hit the convective temperature yet. Thus the reflection is fairly glassy.

This view is from window seat of Watershed Farm looking northwest across the pond, which is actually the source and headwaters of the Humber River. The small pond in the front yard drained to Lake Simcoe through the Holland Marsh.  This is why we called our piece of Paradise Watershed Farm.

I painted looking out the window. The simple things are the best. I do not need the south of France.
