Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
This is based on #2326 "Cirrus Lines".
Every sky is another and very different challenge. I keep trying various techniques to realistically interpret the complexities of the many layers and depths of the three dimensional atmosphere - with a minimal number of strokes of the brush. Too many brush strokes can steal the life out of the painting. Polishing a brush strokes makes everything flat.
This is a meteorologically very interesting overcast sky filled with cirrus. There are cirrus Langmuir streets parallel to the winds bringing the heat and moisture to the Parry Sound Archipelago. There are cirrus gravity waves in the stable layers of the warm conveyor belt that are everywhere perpendicular to the winds like waves on a lake. There are multiple deformation zones but the most obvious one and the only one I fully included is the one just above the horizon that leads the next and deeper layer of warm conveyor belt moisture. Deformation zones are the leading edge of the moisture at a particular layer and result from the stretching of the air laterally. Deformation is a beautiful process and is the key to unlocking a lot of the dynamic features that drive the weather. There is also cirrocumulus instability producing mare's tails shafts of ice crystal virga. Cirrostratus is the backdrop of this meteorological tale that mutes the deep blues of an unclouded sky.
Cursive writing was once central to the education system. The flow of thoughts followed the flow of the words. The process of cursive writing requires that you focus on the content of your composition and this requires your entire brain to get involved in the process. The synthesis of art and writing encourages the brain to retain the information while improving your motor skills and making you a better speller. I knew and admired some whose cursive writing was clear and concise and quite simply a work of art. I believe that slowing down and appreciating the cursive messages in the sky can have similar effects.

Thank you kindly Sunny. I spend a lot of pleasurable time watching the weather. The shapes and patterns teach me a lot. It is so much fun to try to do the weather justice in oils on canvas. You made my day too.
