Rain's Thursday Art Date - Weather and Weather Lore




 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Weather and Weather Lore' theme.  I chose to do a Sunshowers ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  It is when it rains while the sun shines.  Wikipedia lists all the lore surrounding sunshowers all over the world, who knew?

'A common theme is that of clever animals and tricksters getting married or related to the devil, although many variations of this theme are in existence'

  3. Your artwork speaks a volume, Christine. Here when the sun shines while it rains, it's considered auspicious.

  11. There are whole regions of the continent that could use the showers without the sun for a few days in a row.

  18. What a brilliant choice and a beautiful rendition. I love sunshowers and have seen them frequently around here. Perhaps it is because we have a lot of wind and breezes here. I checked Wikipedia explanations and it fits :) Beautifully done, Christine :)
