After The Autumn Rain

After the Autumn Rain: Oil on Canvas -- 12.5x26. Those of us who make our home in eastern Washington give a polite smile when residents of other states comment, "Oh, your state gets rain all the time, doesn't it?"
"Actually, you're thinking of Seattle, which is a large city in the western part of the state that does not represent what goes on in the entire state, climate or otherwise."
Although where we live in the southeastern corner of the state it is not a desert, we get little enough rainfall that when the day does drop precipitation, it is worthy of note, and, for many of us, rejoicing. After the rain, the surrounding air and landscape awake refreshed and renewed, especially after a long, hot, dry summer. Original oil painting by Steve Henderson of Steve Henderson Fine Art.
