    Well, I kinda like them how they are. I see the problems you mention,
but I was watching some clouds the other day and I have come to the
conclusion that many natural cloud formations, if represented accurately in
povray, would not seem natural. One from the beach the other day was nothing
but a greenish grey line across the horizon with three bulbous areas with
rainbow colors. If I had taken a picture of it and edited it to make it look
like povray, no one here would have even thought I was posting clouds, it
looked more like a fractal.

    So from my point of view, your clouds look like clouds. They look a lot
like oil painted clouds.
