Description
A summer storm was on the way but Tuesday August 24th, 2021 still provided a brilliant sunrise. The cirrus cloud of the leading edge of the warm conveyor belt was certainly approaching from the south. The strands of cirrus were being stretched in the associated deforming circulation. Gravity waves revealed the overall stability of the atmosphere with the warm air aloft. The winds were light at the surface. It would have been a beautiful day on the waters of Georgian Bay.
This morning's sunrise at the eastern edge of Killbear Jumping Rocks (Harold's Point) looking eastward toward the rising sun just as it crested the deformation zone of the warm conveyor belt. The point was backlit and in strong shadows. The cyclonic companion of the warm conveyor belt shaped the sunrise cirrus. The wisps of cirrus overhead were shaped by the paired anticyclonic swirl that can be found on the opposite side of the deformation zone. The judicious use of the Coriolis right hand facilitates the understanding of these patterns. A graphic assists in the explanation but I must admit that the colours and the shapes were more important than the physics to me in this beautiful Thirty Thousand Island Archipelago sunrise. .
I have painted Harold's Point several times - #2528 "Harold's Point at Killbear" and from the other side in #2002 "Killbear Flagged Pines at Sunset". The light and the weather makes every painting quite unique. I would paint the area again in #2534 "Sunrise on the Killbear Jumping Rocks", #2535 "Sunrise on Killbear Light" and #2536 "Killbear Cirrus Sunrise". Georgian Bay is always inspirational and I never tire of attempting to capture the nuances of the natural beauty of the weather and the geography. In this case, I loved how the reflection of the sun danced across the water.
This painting is the final of the trilogy from the sunrise of August 24th, 2021.

Dramatic composition aided by the limited colors and energetic shapes in the foreground and sky - simply wonderful!!
