A summer storm was on the way but Tuesday August 24th, 2021 still provided a brilliant sunrise. The cirrus cloud of the leading edge of the warm conveyor belt was certainly approaching from the south. The stands of cirrus were being stretched in the associated deforming circulation. Gravity waves revealed the overall stability of the atmosphere with the warm air aloft. The winds were light at the surface. It would have been a beautiful day on the waters of Georgian Bay off the Parry Sound and Killbear shores.
This morning's sunrise at Killbear Jumping Rocks (Harold's Point) looking eastward toward the rising sun just as it crested the deformation zone of the warm conveyor belt. The point was backlit and in strong shadows. I have painted Harold's Point several times -
#2528 "Harold's Point at Killbear" and from the other side in #2002 "Killbear Flagged Pines at Sunset". The light and the weather makes every painting quite unique. I would paint the area again in #2535 "Sunrise on Killbear Light" and #2536 "Killbear Cirrus Sunrise". Georgian Bay is always inspirational and I never tire of attempting to capture the nuances of the natural beauty of the weather and the geography. In this case, I loved how the reflection of the sun danced across the water.
This painting is the first of the trilogy from the sunrise of August 24th, 2021 thanks to my friend Cam.
