Clouds are amazing things - you look away for what seems only a brief moment and they have completely changed.
In art, a cloudscape is the depiction of a view of clouds or the sky. Usually, 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). The terms cloudscape and skyscape are sometimes used interchangeably, although a skyscape does not necessarily include a view of clouds.
