This is from Monday, November 11, 2002... this is the best picture I have of this painting which found a home somewhere... don't know where.
This is the view looking out to the west from the farmhouse
of Watershed Farm on the 12th Concession of King Township. The die-ing embers of daylight are what attracted me to this sky. There are a couple of deformation zones in this sky as well. The dominant deformation zone was marked by the remnants of the altocumulus deck accompanying the exiting low pressure area. The winds were light northwesterly as one would expect. This deformation zone was pretty obvious. The second deformation zone was much more subtle on the western horizon. There was a line of cirrus and cirrostratus still catching the sun and this marked the leading edge of the warm conveyor belt and the next system on the way. "Cirrostratus coming at us" is a pretty good predictor for the next low pressure area. I removed the fence line from this work… it didn't help the composition. The remains of the snow banks on the hills were spectacular and cold under the setting sun.
This is the same location as #0614 "The Sunset Before" but just on a different day with another sky full of weather.
