I've been painting clouds lately. As a child, one of my favorite games was lying on my back looking for creatures in the sky; dragons, ogres, winged horses, and yes, bunnies and ducklings. I'd make up stories about them.   Our current home backs up to ten acres of woods. There is a creek in our backyard. The trees are lush, the woods full of wildlife. Barred owls, a blue heron, foxes, deer, coyotes, songbirds of every description; it's the Wild Kingdom out here. The only thing lacking is open sky. I cannot visit with the clouds from my yard.

Our annual beach trip, where I can visit with the clouds, has been postponed. Little wonder, then, that I am going through my photographs and finding skies and sand to paint. I just finished "July Cloud".  What do *you* see?
