This painting is from a road trip traveling through
Kansas. The day started off
with another cloudless sky adding to the fourth month of much needed
rain. The temperature again was way above normal with hot air blowing the
lands dry, making for a perfect combination to form the familiar dust devils
one sees when crossing the great American Plains. I had already been
driving on the road for about 7 hours when I stopped to take some photographs
for some later paintings when I turned and looked west, there in the blue, blue
sky, the first cloud in months.
Shortly after I arrived at my hotel in the early evening, I was standing
outside watching a cloud covered sky when the first light rain began to fall. This painting is a 6x6 inch on panel mounted to a varnished 1.5" deep box:

Gerald, when I first saw this I thought.....you have a sense of humor about your clouds. Then I read the story. Happy you found some rain coming your way. We also are finally getting a good rain here in Oklahoma.
