Sunday Sketches - Cloudscape

This piece for Sunday Sketches is called 'Cloudscape'.  It's done in my art journal (5"h x7"w) in watercolour pencil.  It's based on a photo I took, I just made the street light into a more beautiful wrought iron piece and put some colour into the grey clouds. Do you spell the colour as 'grey' or 'gray'?  It's one of those words like focused/focussed.

I love it. I can never get two sides of an inanimate object symmetrical. Good for you! I managed to get my scanner working on hubby's new computer, a gift for him for Christmas. (Was there an ulterior motive there?!) (ツ) from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!

That is really lovely! And I use both forms - grey and gray. I can never quite settle on one.

Using both forms of words depends on the occasion, I guess.

Funny how some words are. I do gray I believe but it's been so long since I've used the word.

It's beautiful, I love it. It has a wonderful feel to it. I want to use grey, but gray is the more common spelling in the U.S. I believe, so I'm constantly correcting myself...

I always preferred the spelling of gray

I really like it. And the added color is pretty. I spell it gray. I think the British spell it grey.. Maybe? :)

I saw the word grey/gray somewhere else after reading this post and you know, I don't really know for sure which I write. That's a funny bugger of a word.
