Painting the Sky









I have been spending a lot of time looking at the sky and trying to paint it. I like cloudy colorful skies. Since early spring the sky has had plenty of clouds to use as inspiration, but it hasn't been easy capturing what I see. I have made some progress. I usually end up overworking them but I like the four above. I shall keep practicing.

Best Wishes,

A.Marie
