| #2758 "Jim Day Sunrise Steam Fog" 8x10 inches oils on canvas |
It was a mixture of snow and light rain outside so I did not have any plein air options. As a result, I decided to paint in front of the wood stove, listening to tunes and pretending that I was outside on the bluebird of a day.
I had recorded this vista before in #2711 "Jim Day Sunrise Steam Fog" but this view is more southerly and I decided to give it a looser, plein air treatment. .
On that day, I knew that the wind would develop by mid-morning when the radiational inversion broke down, so I decided to head out for a paddle around Singleton Lake while the water was like glass. The air was cold enough to support steam fog. It had been a while since I painted steam devils so I thought that it would be good to try them again. The story can be found in the title. This is looking southeastward around 7 am in the morning.
I did manage to paddle around Singleton before the southwesterly winds picked up. Life is very good.

Warmest regards and keep your paddle in the water,
Phil Chadwick
