Cloud Streets over the Maitai.

I could have painted this three ways today. It started out as a hill and tree study, then it drizzled a bit, and I thought of misty hills, then it cleared, as the wind picked up and the sun came out, and whoopee! Dynamic cloud study! I just love it when the clouds do such cloudy things.
I can understand why Constable did so many. I'm actually painting the same size as he did. I remember looking at his cloud studies some years back and thinking then that paintings did not have to be big to be impressive.

In homage to the great master I have subtitled this: "painted 5pm, 2nd February 2015."
