#2718 "The Eve of Remembering"

#2718 "The Eve of Remembering"
10x12 by 1/2 inch in-depth smooth panel oils

The following day would be Remembrance Day. It is a special day even though I think of my parents pretty much every day anyway. I still wear the light plaid jacket that we had given my Father in 1999 a couple of years before he passed. I think of him every time I put it on. 

The cirrus with this system originated with a winter storm over the Nickel Belt. I watched atmospheric swells spreading southward in the sunset sky. The swells were rippling outward from that northern disturbance. There were smaller, wind-induced gravity waves embedded on top of the swells. 

The rain from Hurricane Nicole was still a day away to the south. Nicole made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane just south of Florida's Vero Beach early on Thursday, the day before Friday and Remembrance Day. Nicole quickly weakened into a tropical storm hitting the state with heavy rains and widespread, strong winds.

The combination of Hurricanes Ian and Nicole across Florida might finally emphasize that waterfront property in Florida is a poor investment as it is reclaimed by the oceans. 

I used a very smooth panel and concentrated on mixing the right colours and simply laying them in place. The oils were very thick on the surface and provided a lot of texture. This is meant to be a pair for #2719 "Lofty Altocumulus Singleton Sunset".
