label: Description
content: Atmosphere sketch showing an expansive view of clouds, likely over the Hudson River as seen from the artist's property in Hudson, New York. In the foreground, nearby low-lying clouds flow over rolling terrain (or are, perhaps, the hills themselves). In the distance, a tumultuous, layered mix of wispy and puffy clouds intermingle in a chaotic and indistinct sky. Patches of open sky are visible at center and upper left.
