"Rainy Day<' 5 x 7 140 lb. Fabriano Artistico rough press
Today I heard Willie Nelson's plaintive voice singing "Blue eyes crying the the rain."
Rain brings many moods, and memories of as many songs to me. And the Bible is full of references to life-giving rain.
As the skies clouded up again today, with more rain promised, several of them ran though my head, some romantic, some nostalgic, a few happy, and many more sad.
When you grow up in the arid southwest, you always notice rain, and look forward to the building clouds and rain of the early fall monsoon season. Those too bring memories and moods.
Much of the country has had too much or too little rain this year. Here in Oklahoma, on the eastern Great Plains, I'm thankful for the cooler temperatures, and abundant rainfall...and the multiple memories.
Today's little watercolor, out of response to those memories and moods.
