In Appreciation of Clouds
As an artist, I am always on the prowl for ideas, color combinations, composition, or a touchstone to reality of some sort. Something in the natural world to compare my decisions against. I’m never, ever disappointed when I glance up and view some of the best painting ever: clouds.
When I’m working on a painting and have doubt as to whether some portion is “believable” or not, it’s probably already been done by a cloud formation somewhere, especially at sunrise or sunset. I’ve witnessed some amazingly bizarre formations and color combinations. My experiences tell me absolutely anything is possible: it’s quite liberating.
That’s why when the mysterious envelope arrived in the mail last week, with the Euro postage, I was very excited. It was my membership in the Cloud Appreciation Society! What better way to start the new year?
