"Cloudforms" 8" x 10" Gouache and Acrylic on Heavy Watercolor Paper

"Cloudforms"is a study of movement and impermanence, capturing the fleeting nature of clouds as they drift across an unseen sky. The artist employs bold, textured brushstrokes to sculpt abstract cloud-like shapes, blending warm sandy tones with deep blues and earthy greens. The contrast between the soft, white strokes and the rugged, organic textures beneath suggests a balance between transience and groundedness. The golden dots along the lower edge act as an anchoring element, a rhythmic foundation that reminds us of the earth below, while the layered paint and sweeping forms create an atmosphere of weightlessness. There is an openness to the composition, inviting viewers to interpret the scene as sky, memory, or emotion.
