Description
The front-lit stratocumulus clouds were like pastel sheep strolling across the lake to start a new day in pastures to the north. The cloud streets were aligned with the light southerly winds in a process of Langmuir helical, interacting vortices. The dominant high pressure area was to the south and the outflow controlled the wind direction within the lower atmosphere. The clues in the cloud that this was a fact were subtle. A few of the cumulus elements displayed the characteristic hump resulting from the vector addition of the convective updraft with the southerly breeze. Cumulus elements typically grow with time and the larger and older cumulus are to the right and further along the street. I remember enjoying my coffee and watching the clouds drift northward with the wind - that fact was the clincher.
All of this observational science was secondary in my mind as I embraced the sunrise. I simply appreciated the soft and comforting colours. I knew that I needed to record this in oils. Hues of purple were easy to find in the sunrise light.
My friend and mentor Mario Airomi always encouraged me to use the biggest brush that I could. Mario was always right.

Hmm...this palette and design is lovely and unusual! Love the horizontal moveent and lavenders and reflections...Monet, Cezanne and Vincent would be amazed, I am sure. Magnificent, Phil Chadwick!

That is very high praise indeed Sunny... I keep trying. I certainly admire their art. We are all on similar artistic journeys and never certain just where they might lead. Every day is an adventure.
