Storm Clouds Brewing

As I was returning home from the laundry this evening I noticed a billowy texture in coming storm clouds. As soon as I arrived I rushed to get a photo of these storm clouds.

Coming Storms: A cloud study

This past Saturday there were many storm clouds in the evening that offered an excellent opportunity to capture some of my favorite subject: Cloudscapes. A selection of my images from last Saturday may be found in this gallery.

Northern New Mexico Sunsets

On the way to Red River we made a few photo stops to document the dramatic cloud and sunset views.

Sketching in the Galleries: Cloud Studies

Tonight our Instructor introduced herself as a Botanical and Nature Illustrator. She led us on an indoor field expedition throughthe work of Julian Onderdonk. Our assignment was to find the artists use of clouds and sketch our interpetation of these clouds using tone. I did this on my first sketch and then brought in some use of line to define the similarities and differences in the trees of the landscape and the clouds.
