This is the first of, what will probably be, several, cloud paintings. This one is better than the one I did last night, but still not quite what I am after. I didn't have any masking fluid, so used rubber cement, it is hard to do small areas and cover thickly enough to keep the paint off. All things considered, I like it! I have been afraid to even try a night scene so at least I jumped off the log and into the water! If any of you have any suggestions, feel free to give them. That is how I learn.

I LIKE it! Keep 'em comin'.
Tami, this has such a great feeling to it, both vivid and dreamlike. I really like it and look forward to seeing more of these cloud sketches!
I like the look of the clouds ... the bit of sky showing through makes them look more realistic than a solid white blob. Very nice!
NICELY DONE!!!! I think you're doing really well with these!!! MORE!!
Magic! Looks like the beginning illustration for a great story. I like the way you only show the tops of the house and trees--like a view you'd see if you were flying.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments! Like I said, I am still learning. I like both the dream like interpretation and the flying interpretation, hadn't thought of either, myself, but I can definitely see it now that it is mentioned.
Tami: This is really quite lovely. And I agree, it has a nice feeling to it. I've sent you a "suggestion" to your email. Hope it helps you, you're doing terric work here.
Tami, I agree that this has a narrative look to it. The trees look like there is quite a strong wind blowing, which perhaps enhances the idea that it's about flying, and makes the clouds seem to scuttle.
Great jump off that log Tami! They look so nice and fluffy with good perspective.
I really like it!!
Dusk and night time are really difficult, I think - I quite often do my daily walk/sketch after dark so there's some attempts on my fivekradius blog but I haven't cracked it yet. someone told me to look at the work of Toulouse Lautrec. Keep experimenting. Anyway, I love this one - unusual composition
i like everything about this one. i agree with the other commentees,(is that a word?), straight out of a picture book. great stuff 4 sure.
