Missing Clouds and Rain

Cindy Medina of Las Cruces, New Mexico wrote explaining that it has been sunshine for 1 1/2 months and she misses the clouds, rain, and snow. Regardless of this, she sent us these cloud haiku.

February 2018

Ever wondered why clouds sometimes line themselves up into regimented ‘streets’ like this? Of course you have, and now is your chance to find out with February’s Cloud of the Month…

“Looking Up” by Tiffany Rysdale

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.

You can see more of her work on her website.

“The Road to Selfoss”

Artist and poet, Jeni Bate, recently sent us one of her ‘cloudiest’ paintings. She also wrote poetry for this painting and if you look very closely you will see this painted into it.
