I Love the artwork examples you’ve chosen to share! I especially like the farm scene by John Henry Twatchman–I’m not familiar with his work. My family thinks I’m crazy, because everywhere we go, it seems I’m pointing at the sky and saying, “Look at those beautiful clouds!” Or “What a gorgeous sky today!” Anyway, thanks for sharing…this post was very inspiring.
So glad you enjoyed the post! Thanks for sharing your passion for expressive skies…I think it’s one of mother nature’s greatest gifts! Happy weekend!

Hi Laura,
Great to hear from you! Thanks so much for your kind words and for sharing your lovely insights! I hope you are enjoying fall as well! Colors are just starting to turn here in the Northeast!
Beautiful choices. Thank you for sharing the art.
Thank you for the lovely images. They lead me to recall running in and out of the house, staring at the always changing skies, when first trying to paint clouds. It became infinitely easier when I changed the brush to my left hand.
Wow, what an incredible discovery! Thanks so much for sharing this!
my best,
danielle
