Van Gogh Clouds

Most of us see white fluffy "Simpsons" clouds or cartoon clouds. Some of you have no idea that there is a sky.

But ole' Vincent saw action, constant movement in the earth, trees swaying, and grasses dancing. Mountains alive with color and action. This was done in 1889 and Vincent was sick mentally he couldn't get together. Yet the paintings he did in this state are amazing!

I was amazed the first time I saw them. You know what? I still am! Whether in a book or in person.

The paint is so thick, the colors so bold, and the subject so alive.

Look out for any time you can go see an exhibition of Van Gogh.

Keep your clouds alive and your brushes wet.
