Rainy Day Giveaway

We've had a lot of rain in these parts and most of us have been very lucky to escaped flooding. So in celebration I'm giving away a print from an original in my 'Look Up' series. The original work is a mixed media on canvas in acrylics and oils with paper collage and cotton thread.The print is 5in by 5in and the paper is A5 size with a white border for framing. Signed and dated by me. To be in the draw just leave a comment here before Wednesday 3rd June. Also if you want to be in the monthly 'grab bag' giveaway make sure you're signed up as a follower.

I had to share this exquisite poem by Todd Turner...for my sister...

There was something in the rain,

in the way it fell.

Something in the way of the birds.

And in

the way of the river.

Something in the way it fell.

Otways, Victoria, Australia by Paul Pichugin in JPG Magazine

Something about how the river rose, and

about the stillness of the birds on the banks

in the rain

and about the way the air made it feel possible to

forgive –

and be forgiven.
