At the far off end of the long white gallery is a painting of female, in pale moving clothes and laying on a couch beside an available window. The muslin draperies billow out towards her like clouds. There is a touch of great red, the ribbon on her behalf hat. The rest is the white, cream, palest grey. It is a painting that leads Flora on, beckoning her away from her child years, her complaining, clinging mother, pert more radiant sister, and the confines of a small community, to a pleased and self-reliant future. But later, its image is to confirm the catalyst for the most important event in her life. Isolation, separation, solitude, betrayal. The shocks of life. The consolations and the beauty of death. Several piercing occasions of absolute pleasure and perfect understanding. The Service of Clouds is approximately these exact things, and also about love, loyalty, camaraderie, growing up, and growing old.
