Response to Skyla Seamans: Mother Nature

Skyla wrote in her blog, "What aspect of nature (whether it be a tree, flowers, the sky) do you find most appealing to view as a piece of art work and why?"

My answer is the sky. I love taking photographs of rays shining through big fluffy clouds (see images). I think sunsets and sunrises are beautiful to look at in person, paintings, or pictures, as well. They are bursting with beautiful arrays of colors and are always unique. Furthermore, the sunsets and sunrises look different from every place you go.

There are many different mediums within the art world. One person might use watercolors to paint the sky, while another chooses to use chalk. The sky can be painted, photographed, sketched, etc. Therefore, my follow-up question is such: What medium do you think is best for creating a representation of the sky? When do you think would be the best time to create it (sunrise, midday, sunset, nighttime, etc)?
