Suffolk sky

I've mentioned before on here that I am lucky in living in a part of the country where the skies can go on forever. John Constable was born and lived not far from where I live and was fascinated by clouds.

I have done a good deal of skying...That Landscape painter who does not make his skies a very material part of his composition - neglects to avail himself of one of his greatest aids ...It will be difficult to name a class of Landscape, in which the sky is not the"key note", the standard of "Scale", and the chief "Organ of sentiment"... The sky is the "source of light" in nature - and governs every thing.

John Constable, 23 October 1821

Here is a link to a study of clouds by Constable. Quite similar aren't they? Except my photo isn't worth hundreds of thousands of pounds!!!
