Nice Lightning Storm One Night Author Unknown |
Last summer, we received thirteen inches of rain in August, more than the previous three years COMBINED. Let's just say it got a little too exciting at our place.
Twice.
As we compose these notes a Pacific hurricane named Dolores is planning to visit and all the news is about the potential for rain. (She did wreck havoc elsewhere, but we didn't get much more than a few drops. And Humidity with a capital "H.").
But we digress.
One of our favorite artists creates amazing paintings that depict Arizona scenery and weather in abstract fashion. This is Ed Mell and this is his rendition of rain at the Grand Canyon:

Interesting and well written post. Living in AZ myself, I love rain. It's such a rarity and a treat when we get any. Thank you for showing my tangle, I feel honored to have my work up there with such beautiful photographs. I love that painting by Leonid Afremov and have made it my desktop picture since I also love to use every crayon in the box!
ReplyDeleteDear Jean, thanks so much for allowing us to show your work, glad you like the company. Afremov's work is so gloriously over the top, isn't it? Not thinking we're getting any rain for a long while, so we might as well settle in and enjoy the art!
DeleteI adore that last picture the painting is on my computer as one of my rolling wallpapers. Great pictures all around
