Description
There was a classic cold front on the western horizon. There were two lines of convection along this front so it was quite possible that there was a second front involved in the dramatic change of air masses that Singleton was about to experience. The month of March was about to step out like a lamb and leave colder weather in its wake. The warm sector of plus 16 Celsius air was about to by replace by air much closer to freezing.
The ice was still hanging on over the western basin of Singleton. Every now an again a chink of ice would break free to be carried by the current of the spring flood. Big chunks of ice would be driven onshore in the entrance to Jim Day Rapids. Water would drain from these landed pieces of ice and they would become bright white in dramatic contrast to their darker blue colours when they were floating. The chunks of bright white colour always caught our attention as we thought briefly that the swans had returned to feed. Those were large pieces of lake ice on the rocky points of Jim Day Rapids.
The convective clouds were twisted and twirled. Crepuscular rays streaked almost everywhere through the skyscape and they were the challenge to depict realistically while remaining painterly at the same time.
The weather is always interesting and we just need to take the time to appreciate what the clouds have to say.

It was another one of those smooth panels that I made Sunny. They can be so much fun! Thank you.
