Orange, yellow, blue, violet, cream, red, green, and pink. Those are the colours that French Neo-Impressionist painter Henri-Edmond Cross dotted over his canvas to make up this large Cumulus, which he titled simply The Pink Cloud. Masterfully, all these individual dots merge to form a realistic Cumulus lit by the warm rays of the setting Sun. This painting style using tiny dots of colour, known as pointillism, has to be one of the most fitting for depicting clouds. After all, they themselves are composed of countless tiny droplets, each reflecting and refracting the light and combining to make nature’s own works of art.The Pink Cloud (c. 1896) by Henri-Edmond Cross, in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio, US.
