label: Description
content: Atmosphere sketch showing a loosely rendered view of rain clouds, possibly near Hudson, New York. Comprising most the composition from center left to upper right, a tumultuous mix of dark and billowing rain clouds fill the sky and release light, streaky showers at lower left and center left. Along the lower margin, a nearby treetop is loosely rendered, while the surface of a river is possibly visible beyond.
