Morning light before the storm

The early morning light, mid April 2020, was simply wondrous. Beyond our horizon line the sun was up with a cold autumn glow.  The storm clouds a twisting and turning were a deep blue with tinges of yellow and a hint of red.  Out with the abstract brush, I said!  The result was a skyscape tinged with magenta madness, for those in the know!

I’m always excited but never surprised with the accidentalness of the abstraction in clouds.  In this view, the clouds also reveal a reflected portrait of the artist.  I’ve spend the past four months working in our gardens, making up for my time studying.  

Isn’t Nature amazing.  She has so many wonderful ways of grabbing your attention and getting herself noticed.
