Mares’ Tails
Pack of 5 | Folded Size: 14.2 cm x 11 cm
Thin, wispy cirrus clouds—known as mares’ tails—sweep across the sky above Kapiti Island in this evocative gouache painting. Long used by sailors as a sign of changing weather, these clouds carry a legacy of folklore and forewarning: “Mares’ tails and mackerel scales mean big ships should lower their sails.”
Each card captures this moment of atmospheric drama, blending heritage, nature, and storytelling. Ideal for heartfelt notes, gifts, or framing as miniature art.
