Even though they’re not always charming and fluffy, I do believe life is so much better with clouds.
Yes, they sometimes give us darkness, snow, hail, and rain.
But they also give us so much inspiration.
We place our Gods amongst them, and our dragons.
We look up and endlessly fantasise about the shapes we see.
We try to capture the ever-changing, always moving tiny water droplets in our art.
After this week, I hope you’ll notice and appreciate them even more.
As for your special assignment: this weekend there is only one.
Try to really see the clouds you’re observing.
The more I look at clouds, the more I realise how much I tend to miss.
So when you’re looking at clouds this weekend, whether real or by the hand of an artist, ask yourself some questions.
What colours are they made up of?
How are they delineated?
How fast do they move?
How do they make you feel?
I will be admiring the clouds in Edinburgh for a couple of days, and Kramer’s Eye is going on a short break: I’ll be back in exactly a week, with a new format.
Until then, I wish you beautiful clouds and a beautiful week.
