#2660 "May Sky in the Wake"

#2660 "May Sky in the Wake" 16x20 inches oils 

We received 20 mm of rain with the spring storm that was foretold by #2659 "Langmuir Cirrus Meets Mr DZ". The continuous rain had since moved to the east and the streets of turbulent stratocumulus in the gusty northwesterly winds had arrived. I was intrigued by the cloud shapes and colours. Those clouds needed to be recorded in oils. There was even some green mixed in with the greys and the blues of those clouds. The horizon held the promise of clearing skies with patches of white and blue.

The surface of the lake responded with waves. The classic bright line on the western shore of Singleton spoke of waves reflecting the light of the clearing well to the west... and your eye is also observing a larger area of that reflective surface.
