No, there really aren't any pictures of the electron cloud of an aluminum atom. Atoms are too small for conventional pictures. There are drawings of the electron clouds of atoms, but they're just "fuzzy shapes" because the location, or, rather, the probable location, of electrons cannot be precisely stated. It can only be given as a probability density function - an "indefinite area where an electron is most likely to be" as it is hanging around in orbit. The shapes of the electron clouds vary as we look at them from atom to atom. A link is provided to a post introducing the viewer to the basic shapes.
