November 1st

Today marks three months of cloud and sky images. Keeping up this discipline has been challenging, frustrating and time consuming but now I feel that I can't go to bed at night without doing a picture. This challenge has also been rewarding beyond my ability to describe. My life is richer for the process and the focus.


Tuesday's painting is large enough that the scanner cannot capture it all so I have a photo. These giant cumulus clouds spotted the southern sky at 2 pm separated by rich pools of cerulean and ultramarine blue. The clouds were bright white and fluffy with very dark shadows that look full of rain to me. The contrast of the cloud to the sky was almost vibrating with crisp color.
