Description
This was the first day of the 2020 International Plein Air Painters (IPAP) Worldwide Paint Out. The International Plein Air Painters is a blanket organization created for the sole purpose of advancing the execution and enjoyment of plein air painting without the restrictions and limitations of borders or regions. I am a Charter and a Signature member dating from the fall of 2001. The horrific events of September 11th, 2001 prompted the creation of IPAP. Art is a universal language and we all benefit. The world needed the strong and positive response of art created outside and surrounded by nature.
The September sun was starting to wane. The daytime heating required to fuel the cumulus clouds in the large high pressure area was also diminishing. The cumulus gradually became flatter as I painted and then they were gone. The tops of the clouds had sunk through the cloud bases. Poof.
This is the view from Battery Park looking toward Wolfe Island and the array of wind power generators. Another tour boat crossed my line of sight while I painted so I brushed it in. It was a beautiful day for a cruise. The waterfront was busy with people and many were not wearing masks or practising social distancing. I was wearing my mask. The line-ups of people waiting to get tested for the COVID virus were getting longer and wrapping around the K-Rock Centre.

Such a glorious day and beautiful colors, atmosphere, composition and light! Fantastic and unusual cloud shapes and wonderful brush work. Love the freshness and spontaneity! l/f

Thank you my friend. Stratocumulus clouds have a lot of character. The heat, moisture and turbulent energy that they share with the terrain means that each cloud is truly unique and is conintually morphing into some new shape. Plein air is so much fun! I value your support!
