Oil Painting in the Morning Sky

As I always believe nature is the greatest artist. It creates the most beautiful & amazing artwork at a particular time and we have to appreciate as it just last for few minutes before faded away. This morning I was attracted by the pattern in the sky that looked like an oil painting. Although I can't tell what this pattern is but the colorful appearance simply caught my heart.
