I have asked Shira and Roseri to help me see what they are looking at. After much back and forth they have agreed to guide me through a painting exercise.

I chose a wall in the den. The first thing that they said to do was to put some clouds on the wall. So I did and took them pictures. "Too fluffy", "not stormy enough", "too high", "too dark", they would say after each iteration.

This is the 14th iteration and they say that I am getting close. A little more white in some spots and a little more dark in other spots.

My concern is that the clouds look too low in the scene. The clouds should be higher so that the scene can take up more of the view don't you think? I know I don't have any readers (sorry, I guess I have one - you) but I will put the question out there anyway to all of my painter friends and critics: "isn't the perspective wrong?"
