David Fitch is an artist residing in Texas and Maine. He told us, “as a private pilot I spend alot of time looking at clouds, mostly trying to figure out how to get over, under, around or through them. So their ever-changing shape is of keen interest to me. As an artist I thoroughly enjoy recreating these forms like this one which represents a summer afternoon Cumulus congestus fueled by the warm moist air coming off the Gulf of Mexico in South Texas”.
Schar Freeman, Member 54,318 resides on the island of Kaua’i in the Hawaiian Islands. She told us “I love my walks on the beach. I am a painter and love clouds.

Simon Morse works in pastel, oil and charcoal. His pastel paintings are almost exclusively skyscapes as this medium is perfect for capturing the fluid nature of the subject. His oil paintings and charcoal drawings deal with woodlands and trees in their many different forms and textures.
Most of the subjects for his work are very local to him, which gives me the chance to see them many times before starting work on a composition.
Simon has been in the creative arts for many years as a graphic designer, illustrator and artist. Trained at Shrewsbury and Colchester before working in London.
He has exhibited in Colchester and across Essex, Suffolk and Hertfordshire.
