Luke

____

Luke is the son of a rural shepard, living in 17th century the Netherlands. His fascination with clouds started when he was hearding his parent's sheep and gazing at the skies to pass the time. He started sketching them out, recording all the different kinds of clouds he was able to determine, and soon got better at depicting them.

His talent got caught up by his parents too, who send Luke to the big city of Delft. Here he learns more about the artist's life, and starts working with oil paints. His cloud paintings get bigger and bigger,

until they outgrow his little atelier.

 

This character is part of the Luke in the Sky project, of which you can find out more about here!
