Haiku July 11, 2012 Cool Rain

Morning walk, fresh air

Cleansed by steady rain showers

Water droplets bead.

Art Prescription:  What a refreshing change to have cool rainy weather after a week of 100 degrees. An early morning walk out into my garden reveals silvery rain drops on petals and leaves. This is a good drawing practice. It’s all about shadow and light. Next time you see a drop really look closely…do a study of one leaf or one flower petal.
