Description
The cold front straddling the lower Great Lakes had a little wave of low pressure rippling along it. The weather with the low would not amount to much since a large ridge of high pressure was dominating the pattern. There was still a taste of light snow in the air. The backlit altocumulus clouds also revealed some gravity waves which were probably associated with the cold frontal surface. I saw this sky as quite a challenge to depict in oils.
This skyscape is composed so that the subtle vertical lines in the foreground trees lead upward into the sky. The diagonal elements lead your eye further up but the clouds lines stay on the canvas and are supposed to return your gaze back into the clouds where hopefully you might get lost in a dream.

Very kind of you Sunny :>)) You picked up on the intended lift in the composition. It is OK to break "rules". The paint is on thick and it was a lot of fun! Thank you!
