Rain, the bane of my artistic existence.

Tomorrow is the first day of landscape painting in my acrylic painting class. I was super excited over the Easter break thinking about this project, I couldn't wait. I mean it's landscape painting! There's something so free about standing in the warm spring air and painting the beauty of the sky and your surrounds.

Yeah, that was until I found out it's supposed to rain tomorrow and the rest of this week...alot...Really?! Right now? it has to rain right now?! *frustrated sigh*

...So naturally I vented my frustration at mother nature to no avail. When I finished, I remembered several of my favorite paintings contain rain. For example Leonid Afremov, he knows how to make the most of rain.

SO magical...
It's almost all he paints.

However, I don't think he actually stands out in the rain holding an umbrella over an easel as he tries to paint...that's just crazy.

Oh sigh, I suppose sacrifices must be made for ones passion...but rain really? I'm already one of those people who can't stand the rain and now I'm going to have to stand in the rain. Fate is funny sometimes...

So, tell me have you ever painted in the rain? Do you like any stormy weather paintings? Are you a rain person or like me have just resigned to the fact that it happens?
