Right before and after the rains come to countryside drives,​ the land and the sky do this thing where everything gleams golden…and the Earth smells raw and real and wet. I take long swigs of inhales- just to make sure it seeps deep deep into my pores…light and shadow…sound and silence.

It’s so beautiful I could (do) cry.

I’ve been trying to get the colors down for a lifetime. ​C​an you feel ​the gold on this one​? ​I once saw ​a painting of a big storm cloud that made me want to paint a big storm cloud. Then I saw one and ​when I painted it, it became my own.
