About this artwork

John Constable was an artist who was interested in capturing the ever changing skies. He liked to paint their different moods and he often shows skies that look as though they are about to turn nasty. Can you see the tiny figures going for a walk along the horizon? They may have been caught out by the rumbling storm clouds. Have you ever been soaked by the rain while going for a walk? What happened? Can you think of a way to make the weather change the mood in your story, or create drama and atmosphere?
