Rain, rain and more rain makes for nice reflections.
Tomorrow I leave for a painting retreat in Pennsylvania. I am sure there is no Internet simply because there is no electricity or running water in the cabins! Beautiful scenery though. Therefore this will be the last post until after I return on Saturday.

April 22, 2008 Waiting at the Curb on Connecticut

8x10, pastel and watercolor on wallis board
Connecticut Avenue right near Bread and Chocolate and Child's Play, it's a happening corner. There is always a good umbrella or a running pedestrian. Check out Childe Hassam's amazing rain landscapes, they are inspiring!
