Today was a day of high wispy cirrus clouds in a deep cerulean sky. Well, maybe a little bit of cobalt blue is mixed in at the top for vibrancy. These clouds were painted about 2 pm facing the east.
The large number of cirrus clouds in the sky today seems to forecast rain in our near future. Cirrus clouds in great number precede a frontal system or upper air disturbance. The clouds which follow today's cirrus should be nimbostratus, or low-lying rain-bearing clouds which will move into Virginia overnight.
A cool morning lacking humidity, the sky is crisp as a Macintosh apple. Looking west again about 10 am this morning. This is the same view of the sky from last night's starry sky, but 12 hours later. The sky was predominately cerulean blue with wispy cirrocumulus clouds streaked across the blueness. These fluffs drifted slowly across the sky moving south at a leisurely pace.
Today I've been keeping this blog for a month and painting every day.
