Description
This was Day Two of the Paint the Town Kingston event of the Annual International Plein Air Painters (IPAP) Paint Out affiliated with the Kingston School of Art 2019. The rolls of cloud to the west looked very ominous like shelf clouds associated with the outflow from a thunderstorm. In fact the September sun was just breaking down the radiational inversion. Northwesterly winds were organizing the moisture into streets of turbulent stratocumulus parallel to the wind direction. These cyclonic winds extended all of the way to Post-Tropical Cyclone Dorian which was tracking northward across Nova Scotia as I painted.
I was faithful to the buildings on the western shore of the Cataraqui River. A large brush does not permit the details of any of the structures but the viewer's mind can fill those in. The Kingston Woolen Mill comprises the red brick buildings on the left side of the distant shore.
The Woolen Mill was built to last. This four-storey red brick building was constructed in 1882 when a group of Kingston businessmen needed a place in which they could produce cloth. The Dominion Textile Company were the original occupants and operated for upwards of 50 years. In 1987 The Woolen Mill was declared an historic building.
Some ducks were keeping me company. I could hear shooting to the north as the early hunting season on Canada geese had just opened.
