Will, finally the warm weather has settled in. The start of a lovely day here in The Lowlands. A few sailors on the horizon enjoying the fresh breezes, coming from a westerly direction. The skies are always difficut to paint, especially the clouds. Forever shifting in form, being tossed about by those high gails. A colleague reminded me sometime ago, that clouds are vaporous gases really, nothing solid about them at all. Thus keeping this in mind while I paint them has brought about some rather successful results.
