#2719 "Lofty Altocumulus Singleton Sunset"

#2719 "Lofty Altocumulus Singleton Sunset"
10x12 by 1/2 inches oils on smooth panel

The November sunset sky was full of colour and science. 

Water vapour imagery depicts the three-
dimensional aspects of the intense vortex
over southeastern Iowa. Another autumn
storm was on the way.

The high-based altocumulus clouds revealed several different wave-trains of energy. The cold front had passed through in the morning but another warm front was building in quickly across the Great Lakes. The weather is always inspirational. 

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 sky is meant to be a pair for #2718 "The Eve of Remembering".
