Paper matters

 Paper does matter. Or how to express the softness of clouds on textured paper?

I used Bockingford paper here, cold press. I seem to have a rather large stash of it. It's not quite suited to how I want to express clouds, as the grain of the paper appears too strongly when I lift paint with paper towel. Still, there is something of my current energy here that appeals to me. I was inspired by an evening at Lake Tekapo when the rain clouds kept spilling over the large mountains on the right. 

It looks better in photo than in reality. Just one of those things.
