Bold cumulus layers

01/27/12, 1 pm, looking north

These bold cumulus layers were so dramatic. The intensity of the cerulean sky contrasted with the snowy white top layers and the deep blue-violet lower layers. It wasn't clear whether the dark clouds were part of the white clouds or were below them. The darkness of the shadows may indicate that the white clouds were above.


This painting is a snippet of the sky which was covered with these clouds in all directions. I'll have to start painting much larger to capture something like that!
