#2685 "End of the Line on Webster Road"
5x7 inches oils

There were no clouds in the sky so I decided to paint something in the Studio and have some fun with my aging oils before it was too late. The thunderstorms were still over Lake Erie and Singleton was in the clear. 

The grandkids and I had been swimming in Red Horse Lake and I thought the flagged pines could make an interesting story. The altostratus on the southwestern horizon foretold of the approaching storm. 

Somehow cars drive to the very end of Webster Road and to this beautiful and quaint cottage. The first part of the road is clear enough but after that, it gets very fuzzy. I once paddled past Mud Lake in the middle of a spring flood and came to where the road was washed out. The gouge in the road had to be 15 feet deep. The path of Webster Road is not very obvious on Google Earth. We rarely see anyone at this very beautiful and quaint cottage.

A summer storm was indeed on the way. It would bring 60 mm of rain and severe thunderstorms on Sunday night into Monday morning. Singleton Lake was even under a tornado warning. I slept through it all after noting that the supercell had significant rotation.
