With such a tight sketch, I'm not sure why this piece has been so hard to finish. I feel like I've painted so many clouds in my life that I somehow forgot how to paint clouds. I don't get it, things should have sailed by without trouble at this point.
Oh well, art is just difficult sometimes without explanation. It isn't my job to ask the art why it's hard. The art doesn't owe me anything. I'm just here to serve its needs as they arise. So, if it needs to spend a few extra hours scrubbing away, I'm here for it.
