I painted these clouds pretty much as I saw them, being
impressed with the way the clouds appeared to be stacked on top of each other.
I decided to concentrate solely on the sky with this one and only represented
the horizon line as a slightly darker tone. Although the values are quite close
together, there is still a feeling of perspective looking at the finished work.
Slightly reducing the size of the clouds as they descend into the distance also
helped. Since I have such spectacular views from my studio window, I try and do
a few sky paintings every month. Sometimes these are only as an experiment,
other times to capture something exciting that I have seen or simply as an idea
for a landscape that I have in mind. This one is a 9 x 12 in (23 x 30 cm), oil
on canvas.
