Summer Rain - Inspiration - new drawing


Aloha...make sure you read Dave's interview below, he is my 5th artist interview for the year, and it's a fab read... and ta-daaaaaa! here is my latest drawing offering 'Summer Rain'... she's obviously just done a little rain dance and down it pours...and looky, there's even a rainbow in the background, a bunny and a birdie all enjoying a summer shower.

Where does your inspiration come from? I'd love to hear from you....

Late last night I went to bed and started flicking through a wonderful book of Fashion Illustration/Illustrators I have when I chanced only a few pages into it, to see an artwork titled "Summer Wind" (or something like that) and immediately I thought of 'Summer Rain" and a girl looking up and rejoicing in the rain... then I thought how apt it really was... with the droughts we have here in Australia, and the amount of enthusiasm we all share when it rains...to water our crops..

I also associate rain with God's goodness and abundance...reigning and raining over heaven and earth... and i use this word a lot in my prayer life....God rain down your goodness, shower us with your love... etc.. so this image comes with a wishing and a blessing...that will rain down goodness upon you....rainhugs... karin
