Yes, It Does Rain In Arizona


I walked in the rain this morning at 6:30 and this is my impression of what it looked like from under my umbrella.
Done on gray-toned paper.

Most of the time it is warm and sunny but not today.  
The desert will receive a much needed rain....all day.
Good day to catch up on indoor chores, art and reading.

Linking with 'Six Word Saturday'

I dunno, but it seems to me that if it's usuall warm and sunny, then I'd spend the whole (rare) rainy day outside, enjoying the novelty.

I Calfornia a couple years ago, I marvelled at how everyone scurried for cover at even the slightest drizzle.

This is a great sketch.
I love to walk in the rain... as long as I'm bundled up!

A wonderful sketch...I can almost hear the rain drops beating against the umbrella! Don't you love how the air smells after a Southwest Rain....ummm...that Sage and Pinon!

Love,

Robin

I wish it was warm enough to have rain here. We are in the deep freeze

The novelty of walking in the rain wears off when that's all you seem to get. :) Enjoy it.

I always think of rain in AZ as a brief shower. I have seen this before. Never an all day event. I like your vision from under the umbrella.

I never thought to sketch the rain, but I need to *not* be so caught off guard in my excitement for our next rain, sometime in July... Some great patterns and reflections there!
