One day the sun was peeking out from beneath a dramatic sky and low hanging clouds. It took my breath away. So I painted it.

The simple palette is sometimes the best one. I love to paint clouds and dramatic skies.

I wanted to paint a piece that was overall red tones. Warm colored clouds reflecting on water is so powerful to me. Warm skies + warm clouds = warm hearts.

I think of each morning as a new beginning.

A moment in late afternoon when the sky turns a warm tone that casts a pink glow on all the clouds and water below.

Hillsides catching the late afternoon light and a large bank of moody clouds-- something I have to paint!

A small cloud study is sometimes more magical than the larger finished pieces...there's something about the intimacy of these skies.

I saw a dramatic sky, the clouds were lit with such an amazing light. I hope my painting does what I saw justice.
