#2508 "Singleton Monday Morning Rain Clouds"

The clouds revealed the underside of the warm frontal surface. The northeasterly breeze was chilly and very humid. The dampness of the inflow to the storm made it feel even chillier. That flow is named the "cold conveyor belt" for a very good reason.

I stood out on the ridge thinking about painting en plein air but then the rain started to fall harder and I thought better of that idea. More heavy rain was on the way. The brightness on the southwestern horizon was very real as that area was far enough away from the thicker frontal cloud and there was a break in the overcast. 

If you paint what you see, it must always have an element of truth engrained in it. The painting is also a story and the truth is more exciting and interesting than fiction - just sayin'.
