Description
The energetic stratocumulus clouds were backlit by the late afternoon sun. They were vigorous and rolling and turning over in the brisk northwesterly winds. Shafts of snow virga reached for the ground. Stratocumulus clouds have a tremendous amount of personality as they interact with the terrain and exchange heat and moisture with the ground. Individual stratocumulus clouds have an exciting story to tell indeed but it can be a complicated past with an uncertain future - more of a John D. MacDonald tale featuring a Travis McGee character than a review for the Bulletin of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society.
We were in COVID lock-down and would be for the forseeable future. The very good news was that I was getting at lot of time at my easel. The other good news is that I could stay safely at home and enjoy the inspiration that arrived on my doorstep.

Thank you so much again Mary. The COVID isolation has been good for my art. I am surrounded by Canadian nature and continue to be inspired to record the many nuances of the the beauty displayed in everyday events. Stay safe my friend!

So dramatic and such rich colors...very gorgeous and fascinating...the cloud patterns are powerful and of course, the brushstrokes are free, but deliberate. The touch of cerulean in the upper left corner really makes the whole thing pop...fantastic! l/f
Phil Chadwick replied:
You never disappoint in your careful observation Sunny. Thank you so very much. That cerulean is based on a phthalo pigment. It is a strong colour. I use a lot of phthalo because there are things that only it can do. The creamy yellow sunset is also a favourite colour of mine. You made me smile... and I will paint again today. Stay safe my friend!
