Yes, tiring... words may be. Thank you for this refreshing email. In a wave of unsubscribes sweeping through my inbox, this is why your newsletter remains: the honest raw human is always there.
Clouds are tricky. My MIL painted some beautiful cloud canvases, huge ones that take major space on the wall. Her first husband, who was a pilot, harrumphed a said, "that's not what clouds look like." I would think it's a matter of perspective in this case. From inside the clouds, as he often was, they would look very different. Still, your various renditions caught all kinds of textures, shapes, and tones of color, all interesting in their own way.
Wouldn't it be fun to cut out the parts of your paintings that you really like ... those happy accidents nestled in with the crappy stuff ... and make a collage. HA! In doing so, the crappy stuff might suddenly appear more pleasing. Is that just too strange a thing to do?
Hey, I actually don't do watercolors outside very often. My outdoors kit is usually quite simple and fits inside a sling bag. This is a great question, and maybe I can answer with pics and thoughts in next week's post. Thanks for asking!

Feel better Rohan! ✌🏼💙🙏🏼

What a great point about perspective, Sue! I'm enjoying the textures and effects of paper and water and ink. Let's see where this goes...
