ABOUT THIS PAINTING
This watercolour depicts the humble fair-weather cumulus, or cumulus humilis, forming at 1,000 to 1,500 feet on a warm summer morning as rising thermals reach the condensation level.
The study focuses on simplicity, using minimal brushstrokes to capture the essence of a young cloud gently floating in the sky. Though it may appear effortless, achieving this balance of form, lightness and radiance requires both patience and practice.
This painting is sold without a frame, and it is highly recommended to have it professionally mounted to ensure its long-lasting preservation.
