The Weather Report

The second dozen images of 100 Days of Rain. Small paintings or small drawings or mixed media painting/drawings on Rives BFK paper (what is the proper description?).


Second Group of Twelve from 100 Days of Rain

“The richness of the rain made me feel safe and protected; I have always considered the rain to be healing -- a blanket -- the comfort of a friend. Without at least some rain in any given day, or at least a cloud or two on the horizon, I feel overwhelmed by the information of sunlight and yearn for the vital, muffling gift of falling water.”  ~ Douglas Coupland, Life After God

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.
