Obstructed View
I had this perfect shot of the only two clouds in the sky, and my only vantage point was obstructed by a TV antenna and a captive Martian. I like the shot anyway.

Forecast
They said it would be partly cloudy today.
Between the Lines
I keep my eye open for interesting manhole covers, street signs, unusual painted lines in parking lots, but one of my original ‘go-to’ subjects is clouds. Many times, cloud formations are the most compelling, but once in a while a single cloud can hold its own.
Dream Skyline
I love photographs depicting the tops of bridges or very tall buildings, when the rest of the edifice is obscured by clouds. Since I am not inclined to take my camera to great heights or wait for clouds to enshroud a favorite bridge or building, I painted my own misty environment and used sepia ink […]
Questionable Cloud
The cloud I saw today after work looked like a question mark. Doesn’t it?

The cobalt blue I used today seems much more sky-like than the French ultramarine of yesterday’s experiment. Although the color isn’t exactly like the photo, my abstract gives the impression of […]
Wispy Cloud Practice
I’m always taking pictures of clouds. I would love to be able to create on the paper, what I see in the sky. There are plenty of books and tutorials on painting cloudscapes, but so far I haven’t seen one that explains how to paint a specific one. The cloud in the photo below is […]
Cloudy Sunset
I love sunsets and clouds. I paint sunsets fairly well, but clouds present a problem. Today, the sky was changeable. There were clouds of all kinds. Dark clouds provided a background for diaphanous white/yellow wisps. There were high altitude clouds looking down on their more photogenic cousins. I took a photograph of a portion of the […]
