:: The red paper in the last few collages came from a hardcover copy of Jane Eyre I found in a second hand book store in NW Denver.

:: Someone had written, "January 17, 1963, mild weather" at the top of the page. Nothing about Jane Eyre is 'mild weather' so the inscription intrigued me. Did the writer refer to the weather in the Mile High City all those years ago, or did the book migrate to Denver in the course of its life from elsewhere and describe the weather (or affairs of the heart) there? Literal or figurative? Who knows. I like the mystery. Jane would approve, me thinks.

36 Droplets

I like seeing them as a large group - they seem to make more sense that way than as individual rain drops. Can't wait to see all 100 together, although just seeing them as images will have to do. I doubt I could ever afford to frame all 100 and even if I did, what would I do with them? Most of my works-on-paper are put into my works-on-paper binders, and occasionally I thumb through them like a child rummaging through the odd assortment of baubles in a hidden treasure chest. These are my personal artistic obsession and not really meant for commercial purposes (monotypes excepted), so I'll entertain myself by grouping them here on my blog.  To date, there are 75 completed Days of Rain. I will continue to post them until the rainy season comes to end.
