                                                    "AFTER THE RAINS"
                                                     24x24 oil on canvas

The rains had stopped.  At times it was as though the sky had opened up and all the water in the heavens came down at once.  With the earth not being able to hold any more water, this was a perfect time for me to go take a look.   Camera in hand, I headed out to find that something, It was then, with the sun beginning its descent, lighting up sky and clouds and giving a fabulous encore performance to the now present pond, I found just what I was looking to paint.  

This painting will be on display at this summers up coming show in Laguna Beach California.
