From Mary Mary:
My friend gave me a back and white photograph of this beautiful sunset over a lake and I have always been struck by the rays coming out from behind the clouds. So I asked her permission to paint it.

When I finished the painting. I realized that there were 2 hidden treasures in the clouds! As we all know, we always see something in the clouds when we look up, don’t we?

So I had quite a surprise to find a baby Unicorn and the baby elephant in my painting that I hadn’t notice in her photograph…and yes it is there!

    Hi Mary Mary,
    Welcome to your first Challenge! My kids used to call sun rays coming through the clouds like this-‘God Clouds’.

    Very pretty and nicely done.
    (I definitely see an elephant and a unicorn.)

    I love these clouded days when the sun filters through, creating a prism of color and wonder for all to enjoy. You have captured one of natures beauties, well done, and welcome to the challenge.

    Makes me feel all good inside and reminds me of warm summer days, especially when I was younger, picnic basket emptied, champagne and chicken consumed, shirt off, laid back in some bucolic meadow and just daydreaming the rest of the afternoon away. Ahhhhh, the good old days, before I became chained to the computer. Hope to see more from you, yes? Yes!
