This work was intended to be purely abstract and to focus on a color theme. I created it in glazes of different blues and violets (although the violet is much less evident in the final outcome.) As I worked with this piece, I began to see cloud shapes in it, a stormy sky with the sun illuminating the clouds from behind just a little, the way it sometimes does on a stormy day. I'm intrigued by working this way, with a combination of planning (the color palette, the glazing technique), and serendipity (the semi-abstract image), and then workmanship (going back into the painting and manipulating it to achieve the final result).

Storm clouds are some of the most visible weather changes. It is really easy for us to determine whether it will rain or not, however, we cannot really gauge the amount of rain that will pour down. That is why, weather forecasting departments and institutions are really important. Their task of forecasting and predicting the changes in weather is really important for the survival of many. With their data, we can actively strengthen our contingency plans going into the foreseeable future.
