Cloudology Series - Details From A Painting

I wanted to share some beautiful details from one of the cloud paintings. Focusing on the details, some unique abstract compositions emerge. I find I like some of these abstract compositions as much as I like the painting as a whole. The textures are so compelling, when enlarged. This painting has already found a permanent home, but I may make prints of some of these detail photos.

Cloudology Series - Contemporary Art Cloud Studies

I’ve always found it inspiring to discover a muse, and dive deep. I often find inspiration by the shore. My plan was to do a series of work inspired by the dunes, near the beach, but with Covid19, much of the access to the beach was closed, and it felt safest to stay away from the few crowded beaches that were open. So, instead I looked up, to the beautiful cloud formations above. I love that clouds have always offered me a was to stay connected to nature, even when my access to nature was limited. I recently decided that clouds might be my spirit animal - and although they are not technically an animal, I feel a deep connection to them.

I have never felt any desire to search for dog, dragons, or anything else, in their formations, instead, I am content to just take in their graceful movements, energy, symbolism, and ethereal qualities. They represent natures power and beauty at its finest.

So, I began exploring, sometimes realistically, but often just allowing the abstract forms, to represent emotions that these puffy masses invoke in me. I found the process to be soothing, and energizing, all at the same time.

I’ve created a bunch of tiny studies, on paper, and a number of larger works on my favorite plaster surfaces. With each cloud I painted, I became more enamored with the process. This process is ongoing, but I look forward to sharing this collection with you in the near future. Release date coming soon.
