Painting on Canvas by Brian Sindler: Cloud Study, Framed

Most of this painting is weather.

Cloud Study is a framed acrylic on canvas by Brian Sindler, contemporary. Painters have long made cloud studies to learn how light behaves in open air, since a sky has no fixed outline and will not sit still for anybody. Here a great bank of pale pink and cream rises at right, with a soft yellow-green glow beside it. A dusky mauve surrounds them both. At the very bottom, a thin dark strip of land and a glint of water hold everything down. The frame is silver-toned. It measures 24 inches wide and 30 high.

The land has been told to wait.
