#2547 "Lake Ontario Wind Waves Weather"


This was the sunrise on the third and last morning of the International Plein Air Painters Worldwide Paint Out 2021. The global paint out was in conjunction with the Kingston School of Art (KSOA) and Paint the Town. I thought that I would start painting a series of weather observations. The sky and inland seas of Lake Ontario were going to be the most exciting part of the turbulent morning. 

I continued painting weather observations after completing #2546 "Portsmouth Sunrise Weather". The small and smooth panels encouraged me to just lay the correct colours in and then leave them alone. I started this weather observation at 7:45 am as the winds in the warm conveyor belt were shearing the clouds into twisted tongues of moisture. The winds were also churning up the waters of Lake Ontario. The lake was taking on an unusual greenish colour in the more shallow waters between Kingston and Wolfe Island. Further to the southwest the water still had a pale blue colour to it. Lake Ontario is a true inland sea.
