This was the Fourth of July on the Indian River Lagoon, and moments later Army paratroopers came floating down with American flags. Sunsets are beautiful even when you are facing East and getting reflections on the clouds.

All About the Clouds, 9x6 Oil Painting on Canvas Panel, Daily Painting Skyscape
This painting started out to be a cardinal (the bird, not the church office). I went to my painting group, Pieces of Eight, with my palette all loaded with colors for painting a cardinal, and found I didn't have my photo of that cute little bird. I shifted gears and painted a cloud scene instead, using my palette of colors meant for painting a cardinal.
Where is the red, you ask? It's there, helping make the brown. It's also in the purple of the clouds.
Don't miss our group challenge on our blog on June 1st. It's very different from anything else we've done.

Hot Air Balloons, 8x10 Original Oil Painting, Skyscape on Canvas
I
decided I wanted to just paint clouds. When I was done it looked like
it needed something more, so I added hot air balloons to punch it up.
I'm happy with the result, but I think the balloonists had better head
home, because the weather doesn't look so good.

Am I Blue?, 8x6 Oil Painting on Canvas Panel
I've been painting lots of clouds lately, partly as a response to my painting group, who asked for cloud lessons. Since clouds are so varied and so wonderful, there is a lot to talk about in painting them. Florida's spectacular sunrises and sunsets present a lot of opportunities for skyscapes, but it is hard to make them look believable. That's because when looking at the real thing it sometimes doesn't look believable. At least there are a few things in nature that we haven't managed to ruin.
