Life In The Slow Lane

 

Clouds...From Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair and
icecream castles in the air...and feather canyons everywhere...

Whisps, curtains, cocoons, funnels, fractals, fountains, mist bows, cloud auroras,  and even DOUGHNUTS!

One of the most delightful things about our house are the CLOUDS of every shape and description from early morning to late evening. When it is too hot to work, it is fun to just lie on the ground and watch the clouds.  Watching clouds is something we normally associate with being kids -- but here we are DOING IT.

These are just a few images we have taken of the clouds we see almost every day.   And unlike the Kona side, these colors are not a by-product of VOG.  We are very blessed and grateful that so far we have experienced VOG only about 5-6 days...in over 10 months.

My Couds

CLOUDS?   Really?  OK, probably to your eye, this doesn't even look like a cloud.  Those who know me best though, know most forms of realism don't interest me; for whatever reason I simply can't "get there from here" -- my "here" anyway.


So I do the best I can with abstract images, rich in texture, color and shape...and usually not symmetrical.



A few days ago I spent over two hours laying in our yard and hammock, just watching the clouds....which then prompted a 2-page spread in my art journal. Playing around with some of my fractal images, I was pleased to produce this -- working title "Cloud Key."
