Description
The evening of April 30th 2018 was the first time that we had seen the sun in days. Spring cold lows can be like that. These large swirls in the atmosphere move very slowly in an omega blocked atmosphere. Several days of rain had kept the lake levels high at spring flood levels. As the sun set there was a small vertical window where the beam of direct light shone through the virga before setting completely. The lighting and the colours at these moments can be brilliant. My goal was to capture that light in oils. It was not easy but it is always fun to try.
According to the radar the rain was still reaching the ground but I can witness that was not the case. This is typical of radar which must by design sense the precipitation above the ground which is exactly what virga is.
