#2553 "Turbulent Wolfe Winds"

#2553 "Turbulent Wolfe Winds" 10x12

This was the 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 turbulent sky and waves of the inland seas of Lake Ontario were going to be the most exciting part of the morning. 

I continued painting weather observations - this one was started at 11:00 am on a 10x12 canvas would be the last of the morning. The bands of embedded convection were exiting to the northeast. A relative clearing was on the way with gusty southwesterly winds. The smaller strands of dark, low level cloud were rolled into curls with the wind shear. The bright cirrostratus was well illuminated by the late morning sun and provide a brillant backdrop for the shreds of convective cloud that lingered. 

The wind buffeted my large pallette and sometimes it was a challenge to keep it still enough in order to select and mix the correct colours that were in front of me. The morning five hour marathon of weather observations produced at least eight wonderful memories. Some memories went unrecorded. Any errors in the painting of the weather observation are solely mine. The clouds are always correct even if they change faster than the speed of light...
