A cloudscape painting by Jacob Isaakszoon van Ruisdael. In art, a cloudscape is the depiction of a view of clouds or the sky.Usually, as in the examples seen here, the clouds are depicted as viewed from the earth, often including just enough of a landscape to suggest scale, orientation, weather conditions, and distance (through the application of the technique of aerial perspective).
Here was this great white field of clouds solid against the blue." [30] The painting is a minimalist work that reduces the sky and clouds to distinct planes of color. Minimalism was a popular genre for young artists in the 1960s. O'Keeffe herself compared Sky above White Clouds I to the then-current work of American artist Kenneth Noland.
The broad-stroke artwork of the Wandjina rock art dates to around 3800–4000 years ago. The emergence of this art style follows the end of a millennium-long drought that gave way to a wetter climate characterised by regular monsoons. [7] The Wandjina paintings have common colours of black, red and yellow on a white background.
Clouds of the genus cumulonimbus have very-dark-gray-to-nearly-black flat bases and very high tops that can penetrate the tropopause. They develop from cumulus when the air mass is convectively highly unstable. They generally produce thunderstorms, rain or showers, and sometimes hail, strong outflow winds, and/or tornadoes at ground level.
Chinese character Qi (气), Spring and Autumn period The clouds physical characteristics (being wispy and vaporous in nature) were associated with the Taoist concept of qi (气; 氣), especially yuanqi, [3]: 133 and the cosmological forces at work; [1] [note 4] i.e. the yuanqi was the origins of the Heavens and Earth, and all things were created from the interaction between the yin and yang.

Stratocumulus clouds are the main type of cloud that can produce crepuscular rays. Thin stratocumulus clouds are also often the cause of corona effects around the Moon at night. All stratocumulus subtypes are coded C L 5 except when formed from free convective mother clouds (C L 4) or when formed separately from co-existing (C L 8).
