Fake wooden clouds

 They needed some clouds. The houses on the wind swept hill by the sea were tired of looking up at a blank blue sky, so they erected a two hundred foot tall trellis to hold up some wooden clouds that they cut out of whatever wood they could find. At the moment this painting was “Taken like a photo” there was a lull in the wind which was long enough to allow the wooden clouds to stop swinging. It must have been a pretty long lull. As you can see, some actual clouds (depicted) are beginning to appear on the horizon. I guess one could imagine the houses represent people, because people can live in houses. Houses are way easier to draw and paint than people. They’re just boxes with pointy tops and windows.
