Description
This was the afternoon of Day Three of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS http://www.cpaws-ov-vo.org/) supported DRAW (Dumoine River Art for Wilderness) 2019. We were all eco-artists trying to assist with the awareness of the importance of wilderness in modern society.
The western sky was getting interesting with towering cumulus and some virga. I watched the weather develop as I worked on #2263 "Dumoine White and Red Pines". Sometimes the warm sector is pinched thin between a slowly retreating warm front and an rapidly advancing cold front. Such was the case that August afternoon on the Dumoine. A weak cold front was the focus for the organization of this convective activity. The warm sector air mass was about to be replaced by good, clean Arcitc air. There were a few downrushes of virga chilled air but no rain drops as the cold front passed. I love to record the weather and every sky is a new challenge.
I also needed to paint this view because it includes the sand bars that we floated down current to on several occasions.

Fascinating sky and weather! Wow! Just love the colors and shapes and brushwork, as always...so wonderful with the contrast of the darkest trees. Amazing, delightful and powerful! Another favorite! l/f
Phil Chadwick replied:
Thank you Sunny. The back lit trees were in shadow and dark... the haloed clouds come alive in such light. The clouds were moving quickly as I painted. The original cloud would leave but a new and similar one would come along. So much fun!
Phil Chadwick replied:
Paint the things that are moving first- the clouds. The trees waited to the very end :>)
