Marilyn Murphy is an artist and Professor of Art at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN USA. She often uses clouds, wind and storms in her paintings and drawings.

Rowena Scotney, an artist who is inspired by clouds, recently sent her painting “Mares Tails and Mackerel Scales”. She told us she was inspired while lying in a field, next to a granite outcrop, looking up at the sky with her son, buzzards and jackdaws above and around …and close mooings of cows in the next field. It was a beautiful July day in West Cornwall, UK… before the changeability and the rains!

She works mainly with local, ethical wools – wet-felting and needle-felting and then embellishing with stitching and small beads. She loves how this phenomenon is sometimes called ‘ciel moutonné’ (fleecy sky) in France, ‘Schäfchenwolken’ (sheep clouds)! in Germany and ‘pecorelle’ (little sheep) in Italy :) – So apt for the felting medium!

Alrik Swagerman, member 56,484, has spent the last five years photographing the sky in his hometown Scheveningen, The Netherlands, mainly endeavouring to capture its stillness and open space that he experiences on the coast. It has resulted in a collection of 32 photographs entitled ‘Luchtig’.

Hubert Klotzeck, Member 47,689, has a photographic exhibition, “Love of the Clouds” at the Bauerngerätemuseum Ingolstadt (Bavaria) running from 5th April to 31st October 2025. 

The exhibition website page tells us –   

The special exhibition “Cloud Love” presents impressive photographs by the Eichstätt cloud estimator Hubert P. Klotzeck. All the works on display were filmed in the Altmühl Valley around Eichstätt affiliated. With its 360-degree panoramic view, the Jura plateau offers ideal conditions for observing the sky and invites you to look up to the sky. In his photographs, Klotzeck captures a wide variety of cloud formations – from filigree veils and dramatic thunderclouds to delicate feather structures and monumental skyscapes. These unique snapshots of textures and light reflect the incredible diversity and dynamics of the sky. The exhibition invites visitors to take a closer look at the often overlooked beauties above our heads. Because sometimes all it takes is the courage to look up to discover the ephemeral splendor of the clouds.

Tiffany Rysdale is an oil painter from Scotland, UK living and working in Adelaide, South Australia.
She paints character-based work and in this particular painting the clouds take on the form of the character she painted.
Tiffany came across the Cloud Appreciation Society page via the TED talks page when she was researching clouds during this project. She absolutely loved Gavin Pretor-Pinney’s ‘Cloudy with a chance of joy’ and found it aligned extremely well with the painting’s concept and intentions, allowing ourselves to take the time to daydream by letting our imaginations drift and find shapes in the sky.
