Fire and Rain

View from the studio

This was the view from my studio yesterday afternoon. What a blessing the rain was! With the terrible Fourmile fire that has been burning in the Foothills of Boulder...the cooler air, the moisture and the clouds were a beautiful site. We saw this rainbow as we were driving home after the storm so I grabbed my camera as soon as we got here and took a picture. I've never seen a double rainbow quite like THIS. It was as if we were driving right through it and could see the full arches touching ground on each side of us. Pretty spectacular!

This is a new painting...decided to go horizontal instead of the vertical format this time. I'm working on another 30 x 40 right now...so hopefully will have that one and a few others to show you very soon.

Please keep good thoughts for all those affected by the fire, both human and animal. There was a great Letter to the Editor in the newspaper this morning reminding people about the Louisiana law of 2006 where people are no longer forced to leave their animals behind in emergency evacuations and where hotels must accept animals when people are in need of shelter after a tragedy. At least that was something good that came from the events of Hurricane Katrina.

Gonna go hug Maisie now and be very thankful that we are all safe and together and still have a home.
