Cloud-a-Day image for Saturday 2nd May 2026

Saturday 2nd May 2026

This painting of towering Cumulonimbus capillatus clouds by Rebecca Bailey (Member 54,377) hangs in a law office in Dallas, Texas, US. Rebecca gave her storm clouds softened edges at their icy tops, which is a characteristic feature of Cumulonimbus clouds that have risen high into the troposphere. One of the storm cells is producing a rain shower to the right. On the left, patches of Altocumulus in shadow contrast against the bright clouds beyond. Rebecca felt the sky was ominous, and yet full of promise of much-needed rain. ‘My dad always wanted me to go to law school,’ she told us. ‘But he’s actually delighted about my art. He secretly wanted to be an artist himself, so I’ve vicariously fulfilled his dream.’
