Perdido, mixed media on 24×18″ canvas with 1.5″ profile. $200.

My painting is at the Olympic Mills building and all ready for tomorrow’s opening of the Recycled Rain Project! The reception goes from 6 to 10 pm this Saturday, May 10. There will be a lot of wonderful work there as well as information about conservation issues.

It was an interesting experience to paint with rainwater that I collected. It made me more aware of the weather–I wished for rain so I could fill my jar! Then I had to keep track of how much I was using and make sure it would last through the whole process.

Some artists actually used rain to create their art by leaving it outside. I’m going to try something like that in the future.
