Description
This is trying to catch the convection looking westward from behind the farmhouse of Watershed Farm. Things were happening pretty rapidly so I concentrated on getting the colours right. The shapes.... could follow. The title is after the thunder that was nearly constant and occurring to both my south and to my north.
There was a cirrus anvil directly over the home with new convection forming on what had to be an outflow boundary. I did not realize it at the time but an Air France Skybus got involved with the wind shear associated with the first cell. The Skybus skidded off the runway and burned exactly when I started to apply paint to canvas (4:02 PM EDT). There was miraculously no loss of life. You do not want to mess with severe convection. Wind shear is the worst when you get enhanced inflow lift as you fly into it. The pilot reacts by cutting the thrust and then the downdraft hits. In the downdraft the pilot needs all the power the engines can generate just to stay in the air. At this point the plane lands very "hot" on a very wet runway. I don't know if that is what really happened but it all occurred as I was painting.

Too beautiful, Phil Chadwick...and the backstory is amazing, too. Yes, you really captured the colors just perfectly and the shapes followed in a gorgeous and spontaneous pattern...this one is really alive and electric, just like that memorable day! Bravo! l/f
