Description
Cold air was surging across the Oak Ridges Moraine in the wake of the morning cold front. The temperature had dropped to 2 Celsius from 10 Celsius in just a couple of hours. The cold air side of the front is always the baroclinic side. By 3 pm I had finished my chores so the family Chesapeake Jazzmin and I went out to the front yard of Watershed Farm to paint the clouds.
Streets of turbulent stratocumulus were aligned with the northwesterly winds. Embedded towering cumulus dropped showers of rain and even snow. Ice pellets (Type B) were associated with the stronger convection. Jazzmin simply laid on the wet lawn and gnawed on her new tennis ball. The clouds were whipping along but I was able to capture a few of them. The colour of the clear sky above the stratocumulus rolls was pure cerulean blue with no contrails in sight. .
When it started to shower really hard I retreated to the art room where there was a fire on in the wood stove. I was pretty much done anyway and it was getting darker anyway.

What a beautiful memory and what a glorious day! This is so abstract and yet the space and depth and distance are so real. Spontaneous, wild and free...with brilliant and sophisticated palette for the real weather and the forest land. Fantastic! l/f

Plein air really is the way to see nature. Of course it is nice to have the stereo music and the wood stove on as well. Our beloved Chesapeake would pass away about a month after this painting. Art brings back a lot of memories. Many thanks my friend Sunny!
