Barbara Reid (Member 43,009) is a Canadian cloud watcher and children’s book author and illustrator.    Her illustrations are created with plasticine modelling clay.   She told us “It may seem like a contradiction to create clouds from clay, but it’s a wonderful material for expression and for capturing the sky in every mood. I have visited hundreds of classrooms and am always impressed by the sky art that kids create with modelling clay”.   

This artwork is from her book ‘Picture the Sky‘, published by Scholastic Canada.
