Can I tell you a secret? 🤫
I've always kind of loved a rainy day. It makes everything seem instantly cozier and there is something so peaceful about the way the world quiets when everyone else moves inside.
There's a montage in the 1995 'Sabrina' when Julia Ormond is walking through the streets of Paris on a rainy day (tell me someone else knows what I'm talking about!) and even though that is a different city, that timeless beauty, enhanced by a rainy day, is what I was channeling when I painted this piece.
It's the final painting in my 'Postcards From Oxford' series that I painted to try and raise enough money to go and see my oldest daughter who is currently studying abroad in England. A trip to see her is unfortunately not in my budget this fall and instead of rolling over and saying "Oh well" I decided to try and do something about it!
This Saturday, October 24th at 12 noon EDT, I will open my auction of this painting and five others that are all inspired by experiences my daughter has been having while she has been in Oxford.
Everyone who bids, whether they win a painting or not, will be entered into a drawing for an original oil painting of their choice!
It would mean so much to me if you could give me a follow, mark your calendars, and tell a friend about this opportunity to become a collector of my art.
Thank you for all of your support!❤️

This is just so beautiful. And I share the very same feelings about rainy days! 🧡

Rainy days aplenty we certainly have here 😅 Although interestingly, I’ve found that it’s not nearly as heavy as in the U.S.!! I feel like it rains a lot here but it mostly only drizzles, whereas at in the U.S., when it rains *it rains*!! I do love a good rainy day regardless though :) ❤️
