Skies have been on my mind a lot lately----In Nevada, we do get some great May skies! Some may be thunder clouds, and some may be just gentle moisture filled skies that have a lot of light coming thru. Cloud shadows across the valleys can be amazing, and really show a great sence of depth and distance. It really is a large world out there! Also, we had another cool couple of days giving us rain and snow, we had more than 2 inches late in the evening on May 10th, that was still there the next day. It was really wet, and very good for all the feilds that are trying to grow now. So, caught indoors I painted this sky. A watercolor, just a bit smaller than a 1/2 sheet of 200 Sauders Waterford paper, a really nice paper.
Here, I plan to try and show you my world with the fabulous colors of pastel. You may email me with any questions by going to my profile. I am also on www.dailypaintersofnevada.blogspot.com
