Cold Front 12-12-12

This view is looking easterly across the open field beside the Singleton Studio. A cold front had just passed through and I wanted to catch the convective clouds before they got too far to the east and before the temperatures dropped too much. Typically just behind an anabatic cold front skies clear for maybe an hour and then cloud in again as air continues to rise above the wedge of cold air. There was almost no preciptation on the front - at least at Singleton Lake. I always like the way the majestic white pines stand out alone against the sky.
I also felt motivated to paint on the 12th day of the 12th month in 2012...
