Description
The Elephant in the Room is an English-language metaphorical idiom for an obvious problem or risk that no one wants to discuss. We were having such a great time painting and swimming at the sandy pool on the Dumoine. The cumulus cloud was the elephant in the room but it also bore a striking resemblance to Dumbo the Flying Elephant. These developing cumulus were telling the weather story of a very unstable air mass and a moderate southwesterly flow conveying both heat and moisture over the Dumoine. The thunderstorms of Wednesday night were about to be repeated using the abundant energy stored in the atmosphere. Of course we did not wish to talk about the impending lightning and thunder as we wanted to keep painting and swimming. I used a lot of paint on this slippery smooth panel.
The thunderstorms developed but painting en plein air means you are also likely to get wet sometimes. We got soaked and it was not from just swimming. Mark and I were the very last to leave the pool by a few hours. Without any lunch we were looking forward to having supper.
