Clouds

Filed under: Uncategorized — miasmagladness @ 8:34 pm

As I may have mentioned I’m fairly obsessed with clouds and if we only had a fast connection I’d join the Cloud Appreciation Society (www.cloudappreciationsociety.org) to get pictures people send in.   I’ve read the book–The Cloudspotter’s Guide– but don’t feel very confident about identifying what’s what.  Mainly I love the colors and shapes just for themselves.   The problem with painting clouds on site is that they of course change in seconds.   Occasionally with a small painting I can get something recorded,  other times I try to remember, sometimes I get a photo and sometimes I invent them.  I’m trying something new here–really BIG paintings.  Someday I’ll have a show with space to hang paintings that would be too large for a lot of galleries.  In the meantime a friend has said I could store them in her garage.  This one is not quite as large as the next one in the series but it gave me a feel for slapping down paint with a big brush.
