Description
Wednesday August 8th, 2018 was a very similar day to Friday November 2nd, 2018 when I actually painted this skyscape. It had been raining for a couple of days and I needed to paint. It was far too wet outside so I worked in the studio in front of a merry fire in the wood stove.. Life is very good.
A series of thunderstorms were poised to cross Singleton Lake on Wednesday August 8th, 2018. I had just returned from the Dumoine River CPAWS DRAW and this late afternoon sky caught my eye. I was far too tired to paint en plein air but I stashed the image away for a rainy day. Such a day came on November 2nd, 2018.
The bubbling cumulus towers climbed to great heights. Showers swept across Singleton Lake in waves. I wanted to capture the same energy on this little panel. Art is all about energy and making memories.

A new all-time favorite...don't know how I missed this one! Wow! So completely perfectly magnificent! The palette, the contrast, the shapes, the texture, the water, oh my, everything about it...such a gorgeous abstract and yet very real. Absolutely a masterpiece! Wonderful, Phil Chadwick! l/f

Sometimes the oils get old and gummy. That is when they can be delicious on the canvas... and the most fun. Thank you for noticing Sunny.
