Puffy Hot Cloud

I love clouds. I'm a veteran of lying on the ground and looking up.

I've taken  countless photos of them, because, I wanted to learn how to paint them.

These clouds, while gorgeous, are not welcomed here. They bring hot and humid weather to the San Fernando valley.  We've had over 100 degrees for 2 weeks. I know,  the rest of the country is worse off, and I feel for them. It's a horrifyingly dry summer for everyone. I'm told there is drought every 40 years. It that's true, this is the time.

But, in November, these clouds are accompanied by cool temps. So, let's say goodbye, cumulus, until Fall.
