I thought it would be interesting to complete a pair of paintings from the same time with one overlooking the forest and the other depicting the view across the lake. This is the forest view under overcast skies but with a shimmer of the red sunset glow illuminating the forest. The drainage swale in the foreground floods after a heavy precipitation event. Extended periods of drought separated by such extreme precipitation events was one of the predictions of climate change science and has come to pass even without our lifetime. The white pines poke well above the canopy of the deciduous forest. The next painting #2449 "Singleton Icy Sunset" will be the lake view of the sunset.
The high pressure was to the west of the Great Lakes. The circulation would provide a chilly flow from the Arctic for the next several days.
