Description
It was still uncomfortably hot outside so I decided to do a final painting of the Queen Anne's Lace blooms which I had picked and placed in a vase in the Singleton Studio.
The bloom is sometimes referred to as "bishop's flower" and it symbolizes safety, sanctuary, and refuge. After the Queen Anne's Lace flower goes to seed, the remains resemblance to a bird's nest also makes it the perfect symbol of the sanctuary of a happy home. I wanted this painting to capture the supporting undercarriage of the flower that would transform into the bird's nest.
The air mass was also very unstable and conditions were conducive to tornadoes. Singleton was included in a tornado watch area although the strongest threat was to the north along the warm frontal surface stretching through Ottawa. The so-called triple point is the intersection of the warm front and another line of instability like a low-level jet or outflow boundary - typically ahead of the surface low... where there will be ample cyclonic wind shear. Sunshine in the warm sector provides heat. We had 5 mm of rain with the morning convection that provided additional moisture as a fuel. The dew points were a bit low in the warm sector which should be 20 Celsius or higher for really severe energy.
I was watching the cold front approaching Peterborough on radar as I started to paint. I advised some friends to watch for the individual cells that develop ahead of the surface cold front and turn to the right - supercells. Some supercells developed as anticipated near Ottawa, VanCleek Hill and into western Quebec. There were some impressive gate to gate signatures on Doppler radar revealing the rotation of those mesocyclones.
News reported that a tornado touched down in Barrhaven, near Ottawa and damaged 150 homes.
This was the third and final painting in the Queen Anne's Lace Trilogy: #2790 "July Queen Anne's Lace"; #2791 "Queen Anne's"; and #2792 "Another Side to Queen Anne".
