Justin Auld, Member 29,902, is an artist working in Portland OR who specializes in painting clouds and their ability to suggest images and faces.  Hispaintings are named Quantum Paintings for the tie in that he explorse about how, in the quantum environment, nothing exists without an observer.  He told us “I use clouds as a vehicle to create a recognizable foundation for the viewer to engage with a seemingly normal cloudscape, but then by inserting faint suggestions of faces and forms within the viewer is then compelled to search for more imagery that is created by their own minds“

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.

Cecilia Temeperli, Member 64,974, created this watercolour of a sunrise in the Simpson Desert, Australia.  She told us “I have been dabbling in watercolours for several years now and am still learning. This was one of my first small artwork of a sunrise in the Simpson Desert and it still resonates with me, since 2014, I have been joining yearly treks with pack camels in the Simpson Desert in Australia. On this occasion, we put our swags on top of a sand dune, and I woke to a stunning morning sky. I painted this from a photograph I had taken, and this watercolour conveys the mood of this sunrise so much better than the photo.”
