"Non-Stop Rain" seems to be an appropriate title for this gal waiting in the rain on a dreary day in November.

This painting was done years later from a photo I took of Japanese tourists in China in 1987. I tried to capture the feel of the rain by deliberate dripping and splashing on the painting, and to honor the location by what I thought of as Oriental touches, including the red stamp from my own "chop" of a Chinese "transliteration" of my name.

I am playing with w/c applied to gessoed matboard. Lots of fun, but not great art

These orange lilies needed some water so a few drops of rain added some interest to the painting. see my website : www.lorrainedietrich.com

I started this painting with just a light wash of different colors. After the paper dried i worked out the buildings and people . Rain was added with white acrylic paint . This painting is just imagination

This painting was done in the pointillism style. It is not often used in watercolor but I do like the effect.

This merchant street in Lyon is famous for its "Bouchons Lyonnais" (small restaurants sporting hearty traditional cuisine and atmosphere). The glow provided by the multi-colored lighting to this rainy street scene made my day.

Just an alley way in Madrid - it does rain there sometimes!

It will be hard to see the straight lines of rain when so small. I first lined the paper with masking fluid, then painted, when dry I removed masking fluid.
