#2542 "Wolfe Island Weather Brew"

The International Plein Air Painters (IPAP) was a direct response to the tragedy of 911. Something positive and constructive needed to arise from those ashes. Art is really the universal language that transcends political boundaries and cultures in a creative way. The Kingston School of Art (KSOA) has been organizing Paint the Town in conjunction the International Plein Air Painters Worldwide Paint Out since 2013. They do a fantastic job of coordination and I have been painting with them since 2014 on this very special weekend. 

I was up early and painting by 7 am on the anniversary of 911. This is another painted weather observation of the sky only 45 minutes after #2541 "Wolfe Island Convective Sunrise". I was still drawn to the convective towers over the warm waters of Lake Ontario although the colours had changed and the warm hues had melted away. The warm conveyor belt of high level cirrostratus provided the backdrop to the cumulus congestus. The amount of cirrostratus was gradually increasing with the approaching storm. The cumulus towers were still growing while I painted. There were showers underneath those towers. 

A gang of mallards hung around nearby expecting me to pull some food out of my pockets. The ducks were very accustomed to people. They watched me paint.
