I’m continuing with the “quantity over quality” approach. This is partly inspired by an artist whose work I found on Pinterest, often with the tag “a sunset a day.” He does lovely impressionistic cloud paintings. However, I think he may be putting more time into them than I am.
What I do is, notice the sky around 3 or 4 p.m. when I’m driving myself and my offspring home from school across the windswept Idaho plains, take a mental picture, and do my best to reproduce that mental picture over the next few days.
Both of these are 8×10.
The one on the top is cornfields; the one on the bottom features fields that have been harvested, then harrowed, then planted with something green again before the winter.
Another 8×10: Big Southern Butte in a dirty sky.
Out of Babel Books 
Everything is converging on the centre for the first painting and I cannot decide if it’s a sense of doom because for some reason, the painting has an overall happy feel. Like when you’re driving down the road and the clouds are dark but it’s just a beautiful sunset.
Not sure if I’m even making sense now :p

Great observation!
The view of converging clouds was actually to the west of the highway, while I was driving north, so it was to my left. I made it look as if the road was heading towards the cloud formation when I did the painting, because it seemed to match. I’m sure there were other country roads in our area that were facing the clouds. XD
It was late afternoon, and everything was yellow and grey. I personally love views of grey clouds, but they can be ominous depending upon the presentation, and some people don’t like such views.
